Multiple files upload #46

Open heinbez opened 8 years ago

heinbez commented 8 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for building this project. A feature that I would really appreciate is being able up upload multiple files at once.

Thanks, H.

Related: #4

I don't think this is the same as #4 - I think he just wants to upload multiple files at once, not necessarily put those files into an album.

Still, adding multiple file upload and then putting a checkbox somewhere stating "create an album" would solve both of them.

andre-d commented 8 years ago

Not the same, if it were the same I would have closed it, this is just a flaw in the way github relates issues (you need to make a comment). Just related, the "here are the files you have uploaded" view is the same as the album view minus actually uploading the index and both depend on uploading multiple at once.

Fair enough, I've modified your comment. Feel free to change it back if you prefer

@k3d3, you mean sth like imgur.com? doesn't it need user profiles?!

andre-d commented 8 years ago

No, albums will not require accounts. Basically the server will be modified to allow you to overwrite if you have the deletion key which will allow you to overwrite an album index as you add to it linking to other files in one index.

There will also be albums via + in the URL. On Feb 1, 2016 3:51 AM, "perpi" notifications@github.com wrote:

@perpi Nope, you wouldn't need user profiles. For an album, basically you would just upload multiple files normally, and then create a new "upload" that just contains an table of contents for the just-uploaded files.

Is up1 a no database solution? Could you potentially just use folders to create a collection of items?

andre-d commented 8 years ago

There is no database except the filesystem On Feb 1, 2016 2:28 PM, "Heinrich Bezuidenhout" notifications@github.com wrote:

@heinbez yep, there's no database involved - just the file storage on the filesystem. That way it can easily be scaled out via FS-scaling solutions like glusterfs.

We'd prefer having a single flat directory, as it makes it easier to just use a plain static web server like nginx to serve the files. Having a directory would require weird things like directory listings in collections directories and not anywhere else. We want the server to be as dumb as possible.

For multiple file uploads, we plan on giving the option to either 1) giving multiple individual links, or 2) creating an album file that refers to the aforementioned multiple individual links. This also has a nice side-effect of being able to refer to existing images and files in new albums.

Cool! Looking forward to the update :)

@andre-d @k3d3 I came here hoping to find something like this! Are there plans to add this feature? And either way, is there a design laid out somewhere. I really want this feature and may be able to add it.

I modified up1 (too much for a fork, mainly for personal use) including multi-file upload (browser ZIP, not focussed on pictures), probably this is useful for someone: https://github.com/wolfgangasdf/up1234me
