Uploading directly to gsp is not only cool but saves the synchronization step.
Wish List:upload multiple files-without zipping
Zipping to a single file does not work form me
.jpg are pretty well compressed anyway.
.cr2 (RAW) images are non-lossy compressed very well as well.
Having to zip a gig of pics does not work for me: it is just easier, faster just to upload the old way then resync as usual
Keep up the good work, Roger.
Thanks, John

High on my priority list is to build a little utility that lets you drag and drop files from your hard drive to the gallery. The goal is to make copying files to the gallery as easy as copying files in Windows Explorer.

it might be easier to implement for example http://www.codeplex.com/SLFileUpload/ with silverlight where you can select files like in windows explorer or flash like http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/FlashUpload.aspx ,no html inpunt restriction of 1 object...

Those are nice projects - I have been keeping an eye on the Silverlight one. But a critical feature that I want is the ability to create the compressed image on the client *before* uploading it. Many (most?) users don't really need the high resolution original and if you can upload a 100KB file instead of a 4 MB file that would be a really nice improvement.
I haven't yet figured out if this is possible with Silverlight 3. There is basic support but the quality is terrible. I need something like bicubic interpolation.
If this is not possible with Silverlight then I need to move to a OneClick client that has a dependency on the .NET Framework. Less desirable but I think it would be acceptable to most of you.

You are right, it would be great on clientside to compress and resize files before upload, as I know there are two ways, one is as you say a kind of desktop application(tool) or java applets maybe you saw this example http://upload.thinfile.com/image/ java applets :-)

Hi Roger,
Any progress on the "multiple file upload" ? Is there a beta version avaiable yet?
Greetings,
Gilbert

Sorry, but nothing is available yet, and it is likely to be at least a few months before anything is ready.

So the windows publishing wizard is not an option? If I had the time I could write it with out too much effort. Provides everything requested here and integrates into the explorer shell like peas and carrots. Seems like a better option that writing a kludgey client app when you get in windows for free.

The trouble with that approach is it eliminates a large portion of GSP users. A lot of you are creating galleries that allow visitors and members to upload, and that would be a difficult option for them. Also, it is Windows-specific, and I want to keep this as open as possible.
I still see the best approach being a Silverlight plug-in (or Flash, if I had that skill).

What about this http://www.michielpost.nl/Silverlight/MultiFileUploader/ http://www.codeplex.com/SLFileUpload/I don't think it would be that bad. Just need to write a handler that can take the files. Allow it to accept multiple requests and then figure out how to create one synchronization job from that.

MultiFileUploader doesn't compress images before upload, which I consider a critical feature.
SLFileUpload was already addressed earlier in this thread.
Still waiting for the perfect uploader...

So for this feature, are you saying compress the image before transport to the service? I assume that's what you mean. If that's the case, then yes compressing an image before transport would be tough. Flash has a few libraries to do it (although unstable) and since silverlight client code is realistically JScript, there really is not too much we can do until that functionality comes client side. Now I could see something where you compress the object using GZip or what not to compress the stream then transport to the service where you could use whatever server side compression you like. Just rambling ideas...

Hi, For those which have PHP too running on IIS may take a look on TWG Flashuploader. http://www.tinywebgallery.com/en/tfu/web_overview.phpCould be also an example how to start with an own Flashuploader. As I have an valid license I have linked th TFU as standalone Uploader into my Site. Someone may ask why I do not use the TWG, very simple I have to move away from PHP and MySQL due to new Standards at our Intranet. At least GSP is excelent. Some features I miss but am I sure the y will come soon. I.e. Gallery Inside Template Layout Editor, changing Footer ...... cheers Alex
