As like everyone else I am thrilled that a solution to defunct flash image uploader has been found and integrated into CMSB.  I have a client that typically loads a LOT of photos at one time (sometimes 200) so I started testing the capacity of the new HTML5 uploader.  For these tests, I used both Firefox and Chrome,  there was some long hang-times when I would upload 7-10 at a time. Sometimes the browser would freeze or the screen would flash white and error but some of the photos were uploaded anyway, sometimes the browser would just freeze and I'd have to close the browser and reopen, sometimes CMSB would give the message "no files uploaded". Sometimes, like when I attempted to upload about 30 at a time the screen would freeze and show about 1/2 of them with "completed" and 1/2 with "100%" but the screen would just hang there and if I clicked "save" then the only images that actually saved were the ones tagged with "completed".  Any ideas?.

Hi,

I tested in both Chrome and Firefox and was able to upload 96 images (226 MB) at one time which took around just over 2 minutes.

Next, since we have a fairly fast internet connection, I used these instructions to throttle the speed in chrome to 1.5 Mb/s to test again :

I was able to upload 5 images (19MB) in just under 5 minutes without any issue.

Can you provide any more details to help us recreate the issue?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, IT team - recovering from open heart surgery.  I am now unable to reproduce this after inadvertently uploading ver 3.15...and I am not going to restore the older version because of the labor required. So...problem solved! ;-)  Thank you. Sorry again for the delay.
