Question

"Hit the ball, drag Fred..."

I am managing 10 attachments for a topic. Specifically, I am updating all 10. The process goes like this

1. enter the topic
2. click "Attach"
3. scroll down, locate the first attachment in the table
4. click "manage"
5. click "Browse..."; locate the file on disk; click "Upload file"
6. TWiki returns me to the main topic page
7. sigh
8. click "Attach"
9. scroll down, locate the next attachment in the table
10. click "manage"
11. click "Browse..."; locate the file on disk; click "Upload file"
12. TWiki returns me to the main topic page
13. grumble
14. click "Attach"
15. scroll down, locate the next attachment in the table
16. click "manage"
17. click "Browse..."; locate the file on disk; click "Upload file"
18. TWiki returns me to the main topic page
19. swear
20. click "Attach"

I should be returned to the Attachment management page. If I want to return to the topic, I know what to do.

Is this a problem I can work around or should I file a bug report?

Answer

If you upload multipe similar files such as Image001.jpg, Image002.jpg, Image003.jpg, you can attach the first one, hit back in your browser, change 001 to 002, and hit upload again. (A well known browser made in the North-western USA unfortunately clears the file field, the browser I use does not).

If you want you can propose an enhancement request with a spec supporting the upload of multiple files (achieves more than to swear )

Maybe MultipleAttachmentsAtOnce or BatchUploadPlugin could help here too.

As could the WebDAVPlugin, if you have the rights to install your own apache modules.
