== Bulk Photo Uploader ==
We have a request to be able to upload a large number of photos.

Draft:
 * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/media/bulk_upload

 * {{{controllers/media.py}}}
 * {{{views/media/bulk_upload.html}}}

This work is in 3 stages:

=== Phase 1: Photos with Metadata ===
 * Get it working so that files actually upload
  * media_image.name from filename= in POST
 * Optional: Simplify the functionality so that it doesn't have any Geo aspects.

=== Phase 2: Geotagging ===
 * For each photo uploaded:
  * Read the EXIF header in the files
   * Read the timestamp from the EXIF header
   * Create a record in the database with the filename & timestamp
   * If there's a Lat/Lon then include these fields too
  * Read associated GPX track & correlate timestamps to update the records
   * This is done already within [http://josm.openstreetmap.de JOSM], the [http://openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap] editor.
    * [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM/Plugins/AgPifoJ AgPifoJ] is a plugin which extends native functionality

=== Phase 3: Java or Flash widget ===
 * To allow multi-select of files in the File | Open dialog (Javascript can't do this)
  * e.g. http://www.uploadify.com/
 * ? UI to preview images in low-res to select which ones to upload
 * Facebook is a good design model to look at - uses Java
