Hi community!

My question is about searching for files through WEB Client.
When I want to attach files to some entities in RTC I use OpenFileDialog from 419 CodeUnit. However, in Web Client I cannot use it.
The function UPLOAD doesn't allow to select multiple files at a time.

I wonder if there is an alternative way to select several files from File Dialog in Web Client (maybe, some libraries exist...)

Thank you in advance!

    With a web interface being cross-platform, you don't get any control over how the browser uploads a file.

    A common workaround for uploading/saving multiple files is to have them in a zip file.

    Perhaps an approach could be to have a control addin that allows you to drag drop files, even if one at a time, which immediately caches the filename and file data, mimetype etc, and displays them in a list. This would let you keep scrolling or searching for relevant files before hitting the button that imports them all at once.
