Need ideas for a better bulk file uploader for multiple files
So here is the situation. I am designing a content management system that handles content for Publishers (Books, Journals, Magazines etc.).
Here are the steps the user will take in my CMS:
- User clicks on "Create New Book" option
- The user fills out basic information with regard to the book - Name, Author/s, Category, Fonts, InDesign Master files etc
- Next, the user is required to create chapters. Now according to my CMS, each chapter is just another file/ folder structure. But in the UI, the files are categorized into tabs - Art, Manuscript, Specs, Misc.
Here is the problem, if the user is only uploading one chapter, then he can just choose the different tabs he wants to upload the files to like so:
But this is going to become tedious for larger books with hundreds of chapters. Is there a better way to tackle this problem?
