If you're a Panopoly user looking for a nice solution to upload multiple media items at once, mglaman now has a really nice patch that gives stable plupload integration with Panopoly

#951004: Allow selecting of multiple media items for a multi value media field in the same dialog

I've put this patch through some fairly tough paces -- Panopoly + Organic Groups and it works great.

Because it's based on Media core, it integrates very well with Panopoly and therefore I have found it much nicer than other solutions such as IMCE or Filefield Sources.

Hopefully it will just get committed soon, but if not it would be great to make this part of Panopoly when Media gets upgraded to alpha4

BTW, I am curently using Panopoly with Media 7.x-2.0-alpha4+11dev plus this patch. No problems so far. I just updated all my Selenium tests to account for multiupload and ran them all, no issues.

Does this patch allow the user to select the file-type, add file name and file description during the upload process?

No, it will upload the files and then list them with an Edit button. You would have to add that information after the fact I think.

But for people who want that functionality, they could always just default to the single-file upload by disabling the bulk upload widtget I think.
