Thanks for the Multiupload modules. They are a great addition to drupal!

By the way, I also posted this in the File Entity Inline Module issue queue.

From the "Issue Summary Template standards" (drupal.org/node/1155816)
why the issue was filed, steps to reproduce the problem, etc.
I'm trying to use the File Entity Inline module (http://drupal.org/project/file_entity_inline) by "quicksketch" (http://drupal.org/user/35821) with the Multiupload FILEfield Widget module (http://drupal.org/project/multiupload_filefield_widget) and the related Multiupload IMAGEfield Widget module (http://drupal.org/project/multiupload_imagefield_widget), both by "czigor" (http://drupal.org/user/826222), to allow users to select multiple image files in the same selection window and then fill out custom fields like Caption, Image Size, etc. for each image. Please see the screenshot in the attached file called "happy.jpg" for an example of this. The problem occurs when I change the widget type to "Multiuplod" as shown in the screenshot in the attached file called "widget.jpg." Returning to the add content screen, I'm able to select multiple image files to upload in the same selection window (the functionality provided by the Multiupload widget); however all of the additional fields next to the individual images are missing. Please see the screenshot in the attached file called "sad.jpg."

description of the proposed solution, the rationale behind it, and workarounds for people who cannot use the patch
I propose making the two modules compatible so multiple files to upload may be selected all at once and all of the fields associated with each individual image are editable. I understand there are other solutions for adding captions and other information to images; but for my purposes, a site where users with very low computer skills will be adding content to the site, the other solutions all seem to be overkill and add too many options and too much complexity for users.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help facilitate this request.
Thank you,
Sc0tt

The supplied patch implements hook_file_entity_inline_widgets(), which is all that's required.

#1862958: Don't rely on $element['fid']['#value'] when adding the fields is also related. The patch from #1 is required.

Thanks for this patch, I was trying to figure out a way to have multi upload to use inline entity.
It is working for me.
The other required patch works as well.

The patches work. Let's wait for #1862958: Don't rely on $element['fid']['#value'] when adding the fields to get fixed.

FYI the File Entity Inline issue was rerolled, some other fixes were committed, and I'd appreciate it if folks to review the latest module release along with this change. Thank you.
