Allow multiple file uploads
Currently, the upload functionality of the FileManager allows uploading only one file. I'd like to be able to upload multiple files.

Hi Sebastian,

Yes, you can use a modified version of our source code until we implement the feature. This applies to the one for the ContextMenu too.

In the meantime, I forwarded your inquiries to the product management for visibility.

Love the Telerik and Kendo UI products and believe more people should try them? Invite a fellow developer to become a Progress customer and each of you can get a $50 Amazon gift voucher.

Any further updates on this feature request? This is for us also a show stopper. As a customer we have access to the source code. Would it be possible to patch the source code and build a local version until it get's implemented?

This is a show stopper for us using the FileManager because the customer won't accept the behavior. It should be relatively trivial to add a `Multiple` property to `FileManagerUploadSettings` of `TelerikFileManager` ... Please!

Hi David,

A possible option for the time being is to customize the texts through localization. The keys are:

  • Dialog title ("Upload files") - 'FileManager_UploadDialogTitle'
  • Button text ("Select files...") - 'Upload_SelectFiles'
  • DropZone text ("Drag and drop files here to upload") - 'Upload_DropZoneHint'

At the absolute minimum, the plural "files" should be replaced with "file". We currently can't use this component in production since it lies to the user.
