Transform upload form into normal field

Its simple to do, if a lil kludge-ish

create a file called zzzz.module (you have to do this as modules are loaded in alphanumerical order.)

in the file, add the following:

<?php
function zzzz_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {

  $form['attachments']['#collapsible'] = FALSE;
  $form['attachments']['#collapsed'] = FALSE;

}

This should fix it as you wish.

mind you that is the bare minimal needed. you should research the Form API to see how to do it better.

The fieldset/collapsible fieldset is there to support fields with multiple image support. Feel free to override the theming function, or use form_alter to change the form appearance. If you have alternative UI suggestions feel free to post them as a patch, and people can give their opinions. I'll close the issue in a week if a patch for an alternate ui isn't provided.
