Hi,
Extension:MultiUpload allows multiple file uploads but each file has to be selected individually. Is there a way to select and upload a list of files, using the normal OS selection mechanism (shift-click on a range of files, etc.)?
It's possible to do given a browser that supports some of the HTML 5 extensions for specifying multiple-file upload support (or using a Flash widget as a compatibility fallback), but I don't think there's an implementation as a MediaWiki extension right now.
Bugzilla entries for core: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16752 and UploadWizard: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26502
MultiUpload extension would probably need changes to make the association between files and titles/descriptions clear, with the fields done totally differently.
