Is there any custom widget (or a special magic way) to upload multiple files (or a whole folder!) through one form field? I have tried this multifile widget but it uses many simple FileFileds.

HTML 5 now allows for multiple file uploads in a single form control.

https://github.com/tstone/django-uploadify is a reusable Django app that integrates http://uploadify.com.

From Uploadify's website:

Uploadify is a jQuery plugin that integrates a fully-customizable multiple file upload utility on your website. It uses a mixture of Javascript, ActionScript, and any server-side language to dynamically create an instance over any DOM element on a page.

No, you can't do that - HTML file inputs don't allow it.

As Daniel said, File Input fields cannot support more than one file. However, there are ways around this using Things like SWFUpload. How you might integrate that workflow into a Django application, I'm not too sure.

SWFupload is perfect for multiple file uploads in django and easy to implement (its a classic upload). The only gotcha is if you need authentication; You have to be careful to use the swfupload.cookies plugin if you need authentication. also, add this decorator to your view to allow cookie login : github.com/revolunet/django-skeleton/blob/master/core/…
