Speeding Up MultiPhotos Population with KCFinder Multi-Select
A practical gallery workflow improvement for bulk-filling MultiPhotos from KCFinder.
When gallery-heavy Evolution CMS projects had to upload and attach large batches of images, the bottleneck was often not rendering but manager workflow. This historical tweak focused on making MultiPhotos faster to fill by extending it with KCFinder multi-select behavior.
The practical need
On image-heavy sites, filling a gallery one file at a time was painful. The goal here was to reuse KCFinder’s ability to act on multiple files and wire that into a MultiPhotos workflow so editors could populate a gallery much faster.
What changed
The original modification extended the plugin-side UI logic so selected file paths could be inserted in a bulk-oriented flow rather than as one-off image picks. Historically, this mattered because manager productivity was a major part of what made an Evo solution feel usable to real content teams.
Why this belongs in the timeline
This is not just a small plugin hack. It captures a larger pattern in Evolution CMS history: teams constantly improved editor ergonomics around galleries, image selection, and upload flows instead of treating the manager as fixed.
