Idea: Multiple Image Upload

[patrickf0]

I remember a plugin for Meta Boxes I used before. There was a multiple image upload via Drag & Drop.

You can rearrange the order of the images and can directly switch to the edit screen... What do you think of that? Maybe this has advantages for the user instead of the multiple image upload like it is now?

Sounds interesting.

Are you aware that similar results can be achieved by making an image field repeatable and sortable?

Yeah I know that the functionality is implemented so far. This is just another display of the same thing, but I find it much more intuitive, what do you think.

I cannot estimate the working time to make it look like that :)

I agree that it will be useful and improve the usability.

Just it requires lots of coding for me. Considering the maintainability, the cost of writing it outweighs the benefits from my view.

I'd rather like to see somebody creates a custom field type implementing it.
