When will we be able to see an updated html multi uploader in imagevue?

Right now we don't have plans for the immediate replacement, but we are gearing up for the admin facelift for the next version.

I was just wondering ... Do you mean one that doesn't use SWF for the uploading process? Exactly what feature updates is it you are looking for if I may ask?

Yes a non flash uploader pure jquery/html uploader. I need this because I am a fully mac user now and it gives me errors because I have a password protected gallery and doesn't prompt for the password. But it does work in html version but that doesn't allow adding multiple images at once

We are also Mac-users ... I am not quite where exactly it gives you errors. You mean you have some htaccess password and the uploader doesnt bypass this?

Technically, the SWF uploader is not inferior to other non-swf uploaders, and in fact comes with the bonus of client-side image-resizing options. Of course some platforms don't support SWF, but then again, these same platforms dont normally support standard uploading from a html interface anyway.

It gives me an error when uploading, if I remember correctly error 401 or error 404, it would at least be good at get the login prompt when trying to upload, in windows it prompts once before uploading, it would be good if that is also possible in the mac.

I like to upload from the admin rather than through ftp

Well, this error needs to be diagnosed, as it wont be directly related to SWF anyway. It is not the SWF that actually uploads the files, but this is taken care of by the backend PHP, and is the case regardless of what kinda uploader.

I am not sure what promt this is. I am also a Mac user, and when I wanna upload, I click "upload", then select files from the file-selector, then click "open", and this starts the transfer. Why would I want to press another button? If I don't want to upload, I would click cancel. Sure you are not just biased by windows habits?

Me to. I also like to have images resized on upload so I dont need to do this manually before I upload

What I mean by prompt is this:

Because I have my main gallery password protected with .htaccess password, I do click upload choose the photos to upload and click open, but for some reason in mac it doesn't give my permission to upload because of the .htaccess password therefore gives me the error failed.
But in windows I do excactly the same thing except once I have chosen the photos to upload I click open same as in mac but in windows it comes with the login window and I fill it in and click ok and it starts uploading like it should
I have another gallery too http://portfolio.grimur.net and there it is no problems because it is not .htpassword protected. This is the issue I am having. Is there no way to fix it? I have tried Firefox and other browsers in the mac but is the same. Is there no way to fix this? You can try to set .htaccess password to a gallery and try and upload with the admin and you'll see what I mean.

Well, as I said, we would need to diagnose it. I am not sure why you get this error, and I have never seen it. If you server has .htaccess password in the folder, there is no way your mac can even know this unless it is told by the frontend somehow. It is the server scripts PHP that handles the upload, and technically it should not have impact on the client. There is certainly no difference here between flash and html. Do you have a login and instructions so we could take a look?

Just to close this up, flash uploader will not work in .htaccess protected folders.

It might help if you add .htaccess with "satisfy all" to iv-admin folder to disable the password set before.

Yes I have tried that as you suggested but then there is no login when going directly to http://xxxxx/iv-admin is there no way just to add it to the url needed to be able to upload?

Well, there IS login at that page - the Imagevue login, but isn't the whole point of .htaccess lockdown to prevent visitors from seeing the unfinished gallery? Just lock down the front-end and remove it for the admin, since it is imagevue-protected anyway.
