Is multiple select even allowed in the browser upload support? Do we know @zogstrip?

Doesn’t seem to be in Firefox anyway.
In Windows explorer I can ctrl-select or shift-select multiple folders / files
In the Discourse upload modal, not so

I view it as power-user feature only supported for drag & drop.

I just tried on [http://try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) by adding the `multiple` attribute to the file input element and uploads worked. `img` elements for both were even automatically inserted.

If this is the case @zogstrip I don’t see much harm in including it…

Within sane total weight limits please. I like posting more than 1 image in a post at times, but making it easy to upload infinite could be a problem.
Not so bad if they’re a bunch of smilies, more so if they’re mega weight images

At least on [http://try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) there is already a warning when your files are too big:
> Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is too big (maximum size is 3072kb)
Not sure what happens if you try to upload a ton of tiny images though.

I just found this grepping for “Sorry”
`too_many_dragged_and_dropped_files: "Sorry, you can only drag & drop up to 10 files at a time."`

Yeah technically you can drag & drop as many files as you want but I’ve hard-coded the limit to 10.

Considering I just recently saw a topic here where a member posted 28 (relatively large) screen captures in the OP, 10 at a time seems more than fair.
