Here's my dilemma: I collect a list of file paths to images from a file that a user uploads to my site. This could be a very, very long list of images. The user then wants to upload them to my server...without having to manually click submit a bunch of times, and I want them to upload them without killing bandwidth/my server.
My initial thought was to present the user with a list of files, have them populate form fields, and upload them. However, this is a lot of work and I'm dealing mostly with old people. My latest thought is to build a windows program that the user can download which will talk to our server, get the list of images, and start uploading the images to the server. Now I have 2 questions: 1. Can someone tell me a better way to do this? I tried auto-populating form fields, as this is part of the w3c spec, but the only browser to support this is opera (and understandibly so). I've also thought about doing a java applet...but there are other complications that come with this. It might still be a possibility though. 2. Does someone know another student who would be capable of creating an application like this for me? Obviously there would be money involved.
