Description

Is there any way to do this? Even if all the files are selected and when save is clicked for the node the files upload one by one without having to keep clicking upload for each individual file?

See http://drupal.org/project/image_fupload for an option focused on image files. This feature request should still stand for FileField as it could be nice to have multiple select as an widget option.

Multiple select uploading is not possible without the use of Flash, it's a browser/HTML limitation. Since Image FUpload provides this, it's unlikely to be added to FileField Directly. Recently the SWF Upload module is also attempting to add FileField support, so either solution is likely to extend FileField, rather than be provided by FileField directly.

@quicksketch Good to have an answer. It is clear that efforts should be directed at image_fupload or similar modules that extend FileField.
