First: Thanks for the module. Batch uploading is sorely needed.
I'm curious about the moving other fields to the "preview list" area, such as where the title and body are currently editable.
Specifically, we need taxonomy or a node reference available per image. We need this so that views can organize the batch photos into something useable.
My specific use will be to upload a bunch of photos from a trip, and then tag them easily with what is going on in each picture. (Scenery, action shot, sports, funny). Or something where you could mass upload photos from, say, a car show and then tag then with manufacturer information.
My thoughts are that with taxonomy on the upload page, we're stuck tagging all uploaded photos with the same terms. But because we're batch uploading the likelihood of them being all the same is low.
Simple solution: Add a content taxonomy to the optional fields.
Hard solution: Allow any CCK field to be editable on the second step, "preview list".
What are our chances?
This is similar to: http://drupal.org/node/287699
Thanks again

I knew that this question would come. I'm afraid to tell you, but at the moment (developers only myself) I don't have any time (time => money) to implement the hard solution. This would perhaps mean uncountable hours of work, even the "simple" solution is not as simple as it sounds.
All in all, I will try to implement taxonomy first, this should be enough at the moment, but this will surely take some weeks, without being sponsored or being helped out by additional developers.
The second, flexible solution would be very great, but ... you know, a lot of more weeks and so on.
As usual,
patches are welcome.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm developing a site that will need this, but for the moment we're going to limit the user experience and just use imagefield + cck types to get our tagging done. Unfortunately, that means no multi-upload! Thanks grandcat, hope that you find some time soon.

Done for taxonomy, in a future version, I will also integrate optional fields of CCK.
CCK Integration it-self done in new version 3.0 (alpha). Have fun, but don't forget to run update.php if you update from a previous version.
#4
Partially fixed.
#5
thanks GC, i'll check this out today

GrandCat,
Is this feature available in the last version 6.x-3.x-dev
This feature will be really very helpful.
Thanks a lot.
#7
This should also be done in alpha 3. Or which feature do you mean?
#8
I have now a working version 6.x-3.x-dev
But i don't see options to add taxonomy terms during Edit Captions. Is there some way to enable it, or it is under default settings.
#9
It will appear in the settings page of the cck node, if you create some taxonomies which link to this content type.
#10
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
#11
Does this also work with the "image" content type?
Or does being able to modify taxonomy on the "Captions" page
require the use of an imagefield content type?
#12
It should also work with "image" module.
#13
Sorry, but I can't figure out where to configure a taxonomy vocabulary
for an "Image" created by the image.module.
I tried using "Content Taxonomy" to bridge taxonomy and a CCK field,
and added a field to the "Image" content type that's a taxonomy field.
But it shows up on the initial Fupload page, not on the "captions" page.
How do I move the taxonomy entries onto the "captions" page?
For the case where we're using image.module?
