Scald plays nice with the plupload library, allowing users to bulk import files, and moreover, doing this with a simple drag and drop action from their desktop.

You're now 3 steps from enjoying this UX improvement.
For example, for the image file provider:

  • Enable and configure scald_image
  • Install, enable and configure plupload module latest stable version (for plupload, follow the module installation instructions and beware of the supported library version to install in your libraires folder)

And then:

  • Go to admin/structure/scald
  • Screenshot scald atom settings

  • Edit your image Scald Unified Atom Type
  • Choose "PLupload" as the upload Type
  • Screenshot edit image scald

That's it !!!!

I can't get this working. Seems like my scald-plupload combo gets stuck while loading the plupload widget.
Could you please provide me with the exact versions of scald and plupload modules and plupload library that are compatible? I tried I'd say all possible combinations and it still doesn't work :-(

This is not the fault of Scald, but thought I'd post it here just in case, but if you are using Conditional Fields on the atom's fields, plupload means multiple atom add forms on the same page/modal, which Conditional Fields doesn't handle gracefully. Only the first instance of the atom add form handles the conditionals as configured, the additional atoms on the page/modal do not (all fields are just exposed as if no conditionals were configured for it). I'll follow up in Conditional Fields module queue, but thought that might prove useful info for someone here.
