Patch Instructions:
I've developed a small extension to flash uploader, that allows to enter a short description for each file that was uploaded.
Field Name: [browse button]
[x] [thumbnail1] image filename
[______description________]
[x] [thumbnail2] image filename
[______description________]
[x] [thumbnail3] image filename
[______description________]
In mockup above image thumbnail's height is larger, then image name and description field height together. That's why this will look normally together.
This is pure Flash Uploader extension and can't be used with category items (e.g. links), since they naturally don't support Flash Uploader at all.
To enable description entering ability you need to specify 'description_field' => 'DescriptionFieldName' in particular field declaration in unit config.
Of course you need to create a real or virtual field that will store all that descriptions.
Descriptions are stored the same way as files are - "descr1|descr2|....". Positions of description and uploaded file in 2 fields (with files and with descriptions) matches, e.g. file at position 2 in file field will have description at position 2 in description field.
