It is not that shocking to me -- these are some difficult requirements that
developers have always struggled with, as far as Javascript solutions --
especially numbers 4 and 7. Flash seems to handle multi-file uploads a little
more easily.
If mootools has been able to overcome these obstacles in pure JS that is very
impressive.
Have at it Benjamin!

Wow, it is shocking the none of jQuery file uploaders have those ability.
That may be something I need to work on. Very shocking.
I wish I knew how to get around the mootools issue, just never worked with it
before.

I want to do this and have evaluated and tried a few plain-js and jquery
based solutions:
http://digitarald.de/playground/uplooad.html
required abilities:
1. select multiple files at once via browse dialog
2. list all selected files separately
3. remove any selected file before uploading and during upload (if not
started)
4. per-item progress bars (and ability for individual uploads to complete
before whole batch does)
5. clear completed list easily
Nice to haves:
6. restrict selections by file extension
7. file-size limit enforced on client side
Additionally: I'm looking for a solution that has most/all of this already
packaged (since this mootools uploader does and has therefore set the bar) so
that implementation time will be minimal.
FWIW, all of the jq-based plugins I've looked at so far did not meet *all*
requirements or came close, but had various browser-specific issues (crashing
browsers, not loading from local cache) that made us give up on them.

@GTG, great question, I second that.
@Jack, if you can explain what you are trying to do with mootools, maybe
we can come up with an alternative.

I don't think there is a way to make mootools play well with other
libraries when using the infamous "$". jQuery is probably the only library that
understands this concern and has implemented appropriate precautions in its
code base.
That said, to look at ur needs from a higher level, i think i will
first need to understand what is that u r doing with mootools that can't be
done in jquery. If we are able to easily achieve the same using jQuery, then
you wont have to use mootools at all in the first place...
