Hi!
I know of the existence of the "Add multiple photos" feature, which allows me to add up to 10 files. But would it be possible to upload a much larger amount of files (about 100 for instance) at the same time, by selecting all of them from a folder? That could save a huge amount of work.
By the way, in my case, the cumulative size of the images does not exceed 200kb. I'm talking about a large amount of small icons.
Thank you in advance.

- Hey, I suggest asking someone with a bot, like Grunny, to do it for you. Alternatively, you can set up your own pywikipedia bot, using the API's upload function. TK999 17:21, April 26, 2012 (UTC)
