    Is it possible to create a form where someone can upload multiple images at once?

    Cheers.

    Yes. A form can have multiple File Upload and/or Post Image fields. However a field needs to exist for each upload. Multiple uploads aren't supported in a single field.

    well, let's make that a feature request.

    Fields like upload fields should have an option to allow for a small ikon (a plus sign ?) beside the field that would reveal another field. and another field....and another field :-)

    So option: yes/no for allow multiple uploads. And a setting for max. number of uploads in this field. (if you set to yes and 5, if will allow a new field to appear; up to 5 fields in total)

    some of this you already have in the backend, when setting up some of the form fields, so the basic function of this is already in this product.

    Has anyone tried shift-clicking when selecting an image, or group of images? Just wondering if the upload feature inherently allows multiple uploads.

    there's a difference between being able to select multiple files (I don't know if it works!) and beeing able to select files in for instance different folders on your computer to upload. You cannot be sure the website visitor has all files in the same folder. so the above mentioned system would suit all needs, not just the visitors that have all files in the same folder. But again, I don't think the upload field supports multiple files like that right now.

    We plan on adding a flash-based multiple file upload utility in a future version. This will allow for multiple file uploads, image previews, upload progress bars and all that fun stuff.

    It's definitely on the drawing board, but for now, other more requested features are taking precedence.

    @Kevin: Yes, I agree these would be good enhancements. Also, the ability for the user to upload videos.
