File Manager confusing about uploading files

Release 2.3.9.143 on C7

File manager gives the impression it can handle upload of multiple files but in fact it only takes one at a time.

I selected 3 files from my local file browser, and dragged them to the place it said to drag here on HE File Manager. The tool showed "3" and then "+" when over the field. None of them were actually added to the screen. Repeated the attempt a few times.

Then selected one file at a time from my local files and dragged each one to the Drag Here field. Each one was added by name and tagged as "Pending." Finally I clicked on Upload and a message told me the files were uploaded and all of them had gone from the Drag Here field. In fact only one file had been uploaded. I would suggest that if HE can only operate on one file at a time that is made clear via the UI.

You could always use HPM. :grin: :wink:
Sorry couldn't resist it.....

I resisted for a long time myself. I finally embraced HPM awhile back and realized how much easier it is to stay up to date. Almost zero work involved.

Hehe yeah! Though the file upload thing could possibly do with bringing into line when they have time for a bit of non-essential tidying.
