Import multiple images in Application

Service Studio
Development Environment 11.55.5 (Build 63932)

Hi,


In the Service Studio -> Interface -> Images folder, currently there is option to Import Images. 

But I can only import a single image at a time. 


One more issue is, it automatically scrolls down to location where its added the image after I import.


So for example, If I have 100 images already in the 'Image' folder, and I want to add 10 more images in the same folder which starts with name 'Z', I have to scroll up to 'Images' folder to import another image after each import.


It will be very easy if we will import all the images at one go.


Regards,

Palak Patel

You can already drag and drop multiple images at the same time.

(But I agree, it's weird you cannot do it via the menu)

Hey Palak,

As Joost referred you can use drag and drop as a workaround but your idea makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the contribution!

Hi Team,


Would be helpful if we have the option to import all images,

Hey mate,

Great idea!

In the meantime, there's a workaround you can use: you can select the images you want to import in the source folder, and then drag and drop them inside the Images folder in Studio.

I made a video showing how:

Thanks, Rui.


Yes, I know but that's like a trick we don't have any tooltip or pointers to know about that functionality.


Would be good if we can add a tooltip on Import Image option

In Service Studio allow multiple images to be imported via:

  • The Import Image... menu/dialog
  • Dragging files from the operating system into a user created folder that is a child of the ServiceStudio Images folder.

Currently you can only import multiple images vis dragging the file from the operating system into ServiceStudio Images folder.

Hi everyone, 
Since Service Studio 11.55.5 it's  possible to import multiple images and resources in a single operation.

At this point of time it is not possible to select multiple resource file during import.

During import functionality within Service Studio, no.

But you can drag multiple files directly into the Images or Resources folder (wherever you need them).

If we have a feature to bulk upload images in Images folder rather than uploading it one by one it will be saving most of the developer's time. 

Thank you

When uploading files, provide the option to upload multiple files at once instead of just one file per upload.

Hi,

Do you mean uploading multiple files in Service Studio, or in an app built with Service Studio?

Hi Daniel,

When uploading multiple files in Resources in Service Studio, we need to select one at a time thier if can choose multiple files at the same time. It will be nice.

I've realized it's not possible to upload more than one image at a time inside Outsystems. 

As of now I have around 20-30 SVG files that I need upload, and it's taking so much unnecessary time.

It would be really nice if there was a way to upload maybe a folder containing images instead of having to upload each one individually.

Thanks!

I would also LOVE if it was possible to create folders inside of folders for this as well. It would make the structure so much cleaner.

You can create folders inside the Resources > Images > New folders 📂.. 

But it would be nice to upload more than one pictures at once like you said.

This is already possible since version 10 of OutSystems!.

Just drag&drop the images on the image folder.

Daneil now you're here again just killing my idea. How can it be out of scope when its not possible to add folder structure inside of a folder? Also it's not even possible to add more than one image (at least svg). I'm dragging them to the image folder but nothing happens......

Queendalin Ezenwa  - yes it is possible to create ONE folder :) But let's say you want to have that one folder but with 5 sub folders that have 2 sub folders in them each.

For now, as a workaround, you need to first drag&drop them on the image folder, then to the subfolder.

I'm sorry but you can explain how you create sub folders? sub folder= a folder inside of a folder you've created. I can't seem to do it at least! 


Thanks :)
