Hey, that's a pretty cool applet, dov... $62...a little pricey, but well worth it when you do that sort of thing a lot...
We need a tag that does this sort of multi-file selection.... <CFMULTIFILE> And if it can be pulled off by JUpload, surely it can be done in CF with its Java underpinnings... I'd pay $20 for a tag that would allow multiple file selections...

I'm referring to client applets, not javascript. Check jupload.biz I hacked that applet to downsample images prior to upload. With that applet, I was able to upload my sister's wedding (95 pics) on my site (onlysimchas.com) in less than 10 minutes.... I actually still use a COM object on the server side, though I have my own CFC about to replace it. -dov -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 6:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to Browse and Choose Directory... You're referring to Ian's code, I assume? Downsampling is a problem. I use a tag from Efflare to handle images once they're on the server, but I have to encourage clients not to upload their full-resolution, large-file images to the server...takes up too much space. I use Efflare's CFX_JPG2 tag (or something similar to that name) for processing images for display, creating new files from the source. However, I'd have to upgrade to their most costly solution CFX_ImageFlare or CFX_ImageCR, to get more image processing capability. As far as me doing some "clever programming" with JavaScript...afraid I can't touch that... :o) Rick -----Original Message----- From: Katz, Dov B (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 5:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to Browse and Choose Directory... For galleries, I strongly suggest you consider the applet solution more seriously. With some clever programming, you can save tons of time, downsampling the images in the applet before uploading them to the server, making them a fraction of their real size... -Dov -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 5:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to Browse and Choose Directory... Rick Faircloth But, actually, since the photos in a gallery may only number 20-25, the easiest way is to simply do what I've been doing...supplying 5 CFFILE forms on a page and let them repeat the uploading 4 or 5 times. We're not talking huge numbers of photos, so the process is no big deal. Did you catch my code that lets a user add as many file inputs as they need. Basicly the same idea a yours, but they can do it client side, before anything is uploaded.
