Upload Multiple Files at Once

[marshalmiller]

A great feature would be if we could upload more than one file at a time. I know this is a major step, but I believe that this would be of great use to many.

@jayeclark do you mind if I assign this to you or would you prefer to just get to it when you can? I just to make sure people know you're working on it.

[jayeclark]

Sure!

I'm working on a couple freelance projects right now, but, can definitely get to this soon and I'd love to help.

[marshalmiller]

Thanks. No pressure. You've already helped so much.

Hey, @jayeclark. I was wondering what method you planned to use to solve this? I'm sure you are super busy, and I have no desire to ask any more of you, but if you could outline the process here, perhaps I or someone else could piece it together.

I be willing to take this issue

[marshalmiller]

Thank you, @M-Faheem-Khan

@M-Faheem-Khan This is a great advancement. There seems to be one issue, though. After the first document, the summary does not seem to update or complete. I guess the exception to that is the number of DOI references. But I think the program is stalling somewhere because you can still see the loading icon on the summary for them. Even in your screenshot, you can see the little loading circle next to the second link summary. Any help in figuring it out would be appreciated. For now, I have created a staging branch where I merged it. We can use that while we iron out any kinks.

I think that we must first resolve issue #74 before this will work. @M-Faheem-Khan made the app upload multiple files. I moved that to the staging branch, but since the process times out before completing, it only even starts on the first file. Implementing Redis or something similar might be the only way to have this work efficiently.
