Essentials - MediaPicker add method to select multiple images #6903
Comments
Is there any ETA on this? |
@AbstractionsAs This is not an answer to your question but I suggest you add like reaction to the post to push it upwards in priority. A lot of .NET GitHub works like this. |
It would also be nice to have a CapturePhotosAsync to take multiple photos without closing the camera |
I fully support this, it should have been a basic feature |
This is needed and was available in the Xamarin forms essentials, not sure why this has been left out but its a key feature that many apps rely on. |
I would also need this feature very badly |
We've moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release. We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time. To learn more about our issue management process and to have better expectation regarding different types of issues you can read our Triage Process. |
Currently we can only select images OR videos so also option for images AND videos would be nice. |
Any news ? |
The camera and photo selection parts really needs to be better in MAUI. I just learned that another team close to me picked another framework in favor of .net MAUI with the lack of good photo support as the major reason. Too bad MediaGallery (https://github.com/dimonovdd/Xamarin.MediaGallery) seems abandoned. Last commit 10 months ago. |
I agree the photo picker in MAUI is very needs to be enhanced. The MediaGallery you mentioned is not abandoned and is currently good to go in the MAUI project. (I use it in my MAUI pj, too) |
I would also need this feature |
is there a workaround or still no option to pick multiple images? |
Currently, I use this plugin in my .NET MAUI project to implement the multiple selection, and this works fine for me: https://github.com/dimonovdd/Xamarin.MediaGallery |
I need this too! Microsoft pay attention! |
yes, definitly needed |
Would be a very useful built in option. I'm having to use Xamarin.MediaGallery as a workaround same as many others. |
This is an essential functionality for most enterprise apps, this should be a priority for the MAUI Team . |
We really need this. Is there an ETA? |
MAUI's development is ~dead |
Xamarin media gallery can be ported to .NET8 for now, just done this for a project to get multi-photos select unblocked. |
Description
Currently for images/photos, there is
MediaPicker
class withPickPhotoAsync
andCapturePhotoAsync
methods available.PickPhotoAsync
only selects 1 image at a time from gallery.However, for
FilePicker
, there isPickMultipleAsync
method available.It should be possible to select multiple images, too.
Temporary workaround:
FilePicker.PickMultipleAsync
with some image types restriction but that is unneccessary complexityPublic API Changes
MediaPicker
class: addPickMultiplePhotosAsync
or similar methodIntended Use-Case
pick multiple images from gallery
