Also, are there Lemmy frontends that don’t screw up the order of uploads? The perfectionist in me just screams, but doing it one by one is blah.
Should I even be posting albums in the first place? I sorta like the curation aspect more than just firing off individual pictures, but I don’t know how the audience feels about this 😁 Feedback welcome!
I’m loving your albums, keep it up
I enjoy the album posts a lot. As for the ordering thing, have you already tried filing bugs in each client about that?

… no 😅 Really should though. lemmy-ui could use a smarter way to order the result with multiple selected files, and Photon could use multiselect in the first place
Iirc, a browser or os does not send the file to any application in the order they are selected but rather any order the file picker chooses. So the real solution is to have a separate step to review/edit the upload before posting.
Edit : I mean it will be a new feature and not a bug
Honestly could be, it’s been a while since I had to touch web UI code. I had a vague memory that at least in Firefox and Chrome file pickers give their resulting FileList in the same order as the files were in the native picker dialog. My gut feeling is that there’s a for … of loop somewhere in lemmy-ui that goes through the file list returned by the picker, and starts an upload for each file so that each upload’s completion handler adds the newly-minted image’s markdown to the comment. It really does feel like the order is based on whichever upload finishes first, because often the order is sort of correct but not quite.
