Description
Is this supposed to work in all browsers? I tried it with Mac FF3 and Mac Safari3 and when it gets to the part to search for images on your computer, the window keeps flashing/pulsing and you can't select images to import.
Why is there the need for a separate java-app for all of this? It seems more complicated than it should...no?!
#1
I have tested this in all browsers. What is your platform? What is your java version?
Don't know of a way to do cross-platform way to do multiple uploads without signed java app. Any suggestions?
#2
I just tried this on Macbook pro running OSX 10.5.5 and it worked just fine.
Part of the problem with Mac is that the version of java bundled with the OS is pretty old (1.5) and Apple is not releasing JSE 6.0 for some legacy models.
What is the version of OSX you are running?
#3
10.5.6
where do I find my version of Java?

I'm running a fresh drupal install of 6.9 on the server and using a Mac PowerBook G4 running 10.5.5 (recently re-installed on a new hard drive), with java version (java -version from command line dump):
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b06-284)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-133, mixed mode, sharing)
I'm also experiencing the flashing in the file browse window on the client, and the module fails to upload into a new gallery. It creates the new gallery, however.
I cannot get it to upload into an existing gallery; it fails and goes back to the drupal page without opening the java applet at all. In the status line at the bottom of the browser it reports: "exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: for input string:""." Once this error appears, the browser must be restarted to try again.
Additionally, the java applet appears with a label indicating download, not upload. Also, the buttons turn white once the images have loaded into the window queue; I got around this problem by noting ahead of time which button did what.
My server setup required editing the string to find the java applet, but once I corrected that, I got the "good to go" message and the java version was identified correctly on the Image Uploader (batch) page in my drupal site.
I've run into the same problem using either Firefox (3.06) or Safari (3.2)
Hope this is helpful to you-- I would love to implement this module when I take my site live. I'm not planning to use this function for general users, rather for editors and admins that need to move large amounts of images all at once.
I did get this module to partially work on another install, but it broke in similar ways more often than not.

this works fine for me on jre 6-12-1 on Debian Lenny with Opera but not with FF3.
In both cases there is a box that warns me not to trust the upload but even if I go ahead and accept this, FF freezes. On Opera it works nicely and quite comfortable.
Is there a way to make this warning go away and to get it to work on FF?
