Forum: general Subject: Uploader suggestion: go to next field using tabulator button.

Currently, the uploader requires that the user clicks on each field manually. This requires moving the cursor, which slows down the workflow.

Please make it so that the tabulator can go to the next field too, and shift+tabulator should go to the previous field.

Some pseudocode to show how it could work:


file_info.addEventListener("keydown", function(key) ) {

if (! key.shiftKey && key.keyCode == 9) { // 9 means tabulator.
  // code for going to next field, "! key.shiftKey" ignores the shift key.
  return false; // prevents jumping to the next hyperlink
}

if (key.shiftKey && key.keyCode == 9) {
  // code for going to previous field, "key.shiftKey" listens to the shift key.
 return false; // prevents jumping to the previous hyperlink
}

}


Thank you very much.

Forum: general Subject: Please post multiple files in your uploads

Gauging by your post it sounds like you're trying to perform many uploads, but all as only one file each. Please try not to perform such uploads from a user empathy standpoint.

That is, it's better to post multiple files in one upload, rather than creating multiple pages with only one file each. Multi-file uploads are so much more considerate to users, especially those who scroll through searches looking for new uploads. Plus, putting multiple files on one page makes it easier for users to download multiples.

Thanks in advance for considering users, and plus also thanks for sharing as well, too.

No, I don't. I already put multiple files in one item where applicable. For example, it makes sense for many Instagram stories by the same user.

Still, hitting tabulator is far more convenient than moving the cursor to the right location and clicking. I am used to hitting the tabulator to navigate to the next element. Clicking is tedious.

Forum: general Subject: why so many one-file uploads on IA?

Got it re multiple-file uploads. If only other uploaders got that fact as there're so many 1-file uploads of nobody-wants-em vids, e.g., Spooje Bob, Warrior Poo Seas, Micro Einsteins, Blew's Clues (by registered sects oh fenders), and so on.

Also agree in wantin' to use the Tab key, but maybe 50+ years of programming is behind that for dis guy.
