I have an image field which allows multiple files to be added.
It works file for uploading multiple images at one time, but won't work when I click Browse , but that capability only works when uploading images. If I want to insert images that are already on the server (Select Existing File) it only allows me to select one image at a time. Is there a way to allow for adding multiple files (photos) from the server?
I tried adding 'File: Bulk Operations' to the view and that allows me to turn the field on under any number of images, but still will only add one image to the field at a time.
Is it possible to make and insert multiple file/photo selections from the server?
All the settings for the field (with a paragraph) are set to unlimited.

I assume you mean when inserting images into a textarea? This is not possible at this time. I think there is a feature request for this but I haven't found it. It wouldn't be trivial to implement which is mostly why it hasn't been done yet.
If you are referring to uploading images into an image field, you could test and see if the HTML5 Upload module does what you need.
Thanks, laryn,
I have that installed and can upload multiple images from my computer, but it's the "select from image library" (no uploading to the server) function that only allows me to select one image at a time. When I click that, it opens the Image Library view from which I can only select one image per instance. I was trying to select multiples in one go.
Maybe it's the Insert module limitation that only allows for one item at a time. I can upload multiples from my computer with no problem, but only one at a time when picking them off of the server to place into an image field set to 'unlimited'.
The reason for all this is that is is a field used for colorbox galleries and removing all the images and starting over is sometimes faster and easier than reordering them.
The easy workaround is simply to re-upload the files and let the system delete the unused versions and I'm fine doing that when needed. I just thought I might be overlooking a simple setting somewhere.
