 * Hi,
 * I’m loving the feature of this plugin, but I’m having a slight problem. When 
   I try to add images to a post via the media selector, I can not multi select 
   images. I’m on Mac OS10.7.
 * An additional question is, is there a way to add a selected folder to a post/
   page as a gallery using this plugin?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * For your first question this is normal. The feature will come soon.
    For the 
   other one it is not possible in the current version but i hope it will in futur
   versions.
 * thanks for your feeds back, if you like the plugin rate it.

 * Hi Zefta,
 * Thank you for your swift reply. I see, looks like I didn’t read the explanation
   of the plugin carefully enough. So the multi selection was within the folder 
   management screen. I see.
 * I’m really looking forward for the multi selection of images for post/pages to
   be implemented!
 * One last question. Is there any chance of adding a feature that you can select
   the upload folder when you upload images via the default upload function? I’m
   not sure if this is technically possible or not…

 * As the original poster, I like the plug in, BUT, and that is big one, the lack
   of multiselect and gallery creation is a MAJOR drawback, to create a gallery 
   one must go through unnecessary hoops to get it done, something that’s done in
   no time in the standard WP Add Media function. Worse though, when the standard
   Media function is opened, it now displays DOUBLE files, apparently from once 
   looking at the whole, then for subfolders again. Some issue when the two talk
   to each other?
 * After creating subfolders and moving files around, which I thought was fantastic
   and intuitive, I wound up moving everything back due to the above MAJOR issues.

 * I also need to add one more comment: while you may argue plug-in is described
   correctly, due to inability to perform the standard WP Add Media function (gallery
   creation, no multiselect) it should HIGHLIGHTED so it is clear where a user will
   end up. I have wasted some time moving files around to see the problem, and than
   again to move them back.
 * If you wish your plug in rated, then above is to me a critical point you have
   missed out on, the transparency in its description that is.

 * I have been reading the support forums and found this issue.
    There is no multi-
   file selection option to insert media in to a post??
 * This is essential to have.
    The developer said the feature was “coming soon”…**
   but that was 1 year ago.**
 * Is this plugin no longer being updated?
