Opinion - G3 - upload from server

The upload from server module lack a "select all" (or something like that) button.
Clicking in every foto select box is a time consuming (and tedious)task.
Also this module must be capable of import a complete uploaded directory tree not only loose fotos.
The only way to return to the main gallery is the upper left "gallery" link?
I know, there is a home tab, but it's "out" of the user interface style. A button at right of the "view slideshow" button is more stylish solution i think.

And as usual, speed is never enought.
Keep the good work.

p.d.:I apologize for my "little" English.

Another feature the server add lacks is the possibility to select a directory which is then added as an album. With that it was very simple with G2 to create complex Album structures.

Update: I have opened a Trac Ticket https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/447
Update 2: On a second thought maybe that is what hbusso meant with "Also this module must be capable of import a complete uploaded directory tree not only loose fotos." but well at least now it is trac ticket ;-)

Nope I have tried several times today. Single photos are added. If you check a directory either nothing happens and Gallery returns or the "add" button changes to "pause" and then the dialog hangs. I have tried to add directories from a CIFS mounted drive and from the local system harddrive with permission 777 for all files. I use the latest git code from today and have re-setup gallery today with a fresh install and new database. The logs of gallery 3 and apache show nothing.

Update: After the crashed dialog I reentered the gallery URL, when I pressed enter a new window with the titel "Fatal Error" flashed open for a second and then I was back with the gallery. Nothing in the logs

I then tried something else. Till now I had checked the directories without prior "opening" them with the plus button. Now I have tried to first open the directory. It then shows me the 10 jpg files in the dir. When I now check the directory it automatically checks all 10 Jpgs. When I then try to import it opens a window "No Eligible files, import cancelled" althought those are valid jpgs. Strange

Update2: Somehow the "add_server" module has given up completely, whatever I do it always says no eligible files... uploading the same files via simple upload works just fine

Update3: Things start to get interesting. It seems functioning of the server add module depends whether you pick pictures from the first path or from other. When I deleted all other pathes in the add server settings I could also add directories as albums which initially didn´t work from a mounted device. Maybe it were special characters in the directory names. I will futher investigate. But what is definitively a bug is that (at least here) you cannot add things from anything else than the first path configured.

Update4: When the mounted device is the first path I can now add directories. Is there an upper limit to how many files can be added at once? When I tried first I selected lots of directories with even more pictures in it. Now I only tried several at once and it seems to work.

Update5: There is definitely a limit to the number of imported files. If it is exceeded Gallery simply returns to the main screen without error. And on another note it does not play nice with german "Umlaute" in directory names pictures in this album will be imported but not shown. If you rename the album to something without special characters all the pictures will magically reappear

Just as an afterthought for everyone who wants to use the module in the present state. Opening every directory via the plus button and then selecting all entries seems to circumvent the restriction.

Update: Dang I have to revise that again. When you open the directories the import will start (instead of simply slipping back to the main screen) but it will abort right in the middle without notice.
