Now instead, I have to do a search to get a list of all the files XYZ has uploaded.

I guess what I want is that by clicking the username link in "Submitted by XYZ," I want to go to the local_links page of XYZ to see what images and files he/she has uploaded. If you could also implement what obmob has suggested, that'd be great too.

In the 2.2.7 releases, there is a little magnifying glass just to the right of the username link in the main linkbits (see image). Clicking this takes you directly to a full list of all the entries submitted by that user.

Clicking on the username link itself in the linkbit does (as you say) go to the profile. However, if you enable *profile_ldmactivity* in the LDM settings, then the user's profile will include a list of recent hits and uploads (see second image).

So I guess all that's missing is to add another item as ObMob suggests in the postbits, and this would be a simple icon + url. The required url is "local_links_search.php?action=show&userid=N&sort= desc"

Many users, especially webmasters like myself, would like to upload multiple images or files all at once. If you have photos taken on a trip for instance, you don't want to upload them one by one. It would come in as very handy if users are allowed to upload multiple files all at once.

Thanks again Andrew for considering to incorporate these features into LDM.

The standard add entry form only allows one upload at a time. I haven't added the possibility to upload multiple entries, partly because it's not clear what that should do - create one entry associated with several files (which some people have asked for) or create multiple entries that have the same description and other information.

By far the easiest way to handle regular multiple uploads is as follows:
- use an FTP client to upload the files into a subdirectory on your server
- set up an LDM category to autosynchronise with that directory
- turn on synchronisation on the LDM admin settings page

You can, by the way, set things up to synchronise a whole directory tree with categories and subcategories.
