Please do implement a feature that would enable users to attach more files at once on the website.

That would make people's bug reporting A LOT easier and would save A LOT of time.

Also, it would be awesome if the Revision Information thing would auto-fill itself from the profile of the users' account.

That too would totally streamline voluntary bug reporting done by users which costs time.

The better the bug reporting experience, the more users who will gladly do this.

The easier and more streamlined this website is going to be, the better will MuseScores' future be.

And also, if the "Attach a new file" field would automatically open up without the need of clicking the Browse button, that would be neat to!

And also, the Attached Files field could easily auto-expand and probably be like that by default, it would encourage people more to merely think of providing a screenshot.

Thanks!

Yet an other website suggestion with the intention of better streamlined bug reporting.

It would be perfect if the "Attach new file" field would automatically start attaching files after they have been selected.

That would save clicks. Now think of that exponentially as in calculate the number of clicks that saves counting in how many people do bug reporting for MuseScore by attaching Screenshots.

You can already attach more than one file to a post or comment. The only thing is indeed, you need to browse for each file separately. But I wonder, how many times does it occur you need to upload more than one file? Even websites like http://drupal.org don't have this in place.

I know I can already attach more than one file to a post or comment but I would definitely be thrilled at being able to select more of them all at once and save time and clicks and thus get work done faster and help MuseScore.

It HAS happened to me many times that I needed to upload more than one file, especially when it comes to screenshots and scores, the possibility of this not being needed isn't a good reason for not implementing something that would only encourage bug reporting and ramp up workflow.

I mean, who likes slow bug reporting anyways? Since we're "calculating every possible variable in which MuseScore could fail" for free basically, it would be very nice of you guys to give us a way of doing this even better than how we're doing it now :D LOL!!!

Who CARES about drupal.org, you guys are going to be like Wikipedia, you'll become a standalone standard after which other software will shape their own way of doing stuff.

I mean, who DOESN'T like doing things fast AND well? :D

Not to mention about the fact that it would be nice if it wouldn't be needed to also click the "Attach" button since I ALREADY selected the files I want to attach a microsecond before :D LOL!!!

That's an other task for ya :D
