The default WSS 3.0/SharePoint 2007 SharePoint upload user experience is like this:
- Click link for document library. ****PostBack****
- Click Upload. ****PostBack****
- Click Browse. ****Dialog****
- Click on document and click OK. ****Dialog disappears****
- Click OK. ****PostBack****
- Fill in document properties and click OK. ****PostBack****
Best case, this is a minimum of 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7 clicks with 4 postbacks. I'm getting complaints (and agree) that this isn't slick enough.
Does anyone know of an open source solution that improves the user experience for a document upload? The solution would need to support custom field types when entering document properties.
Edit: This needs to be simple and intuitive for users that are not tech-savvy. Copying URLs is not an option.
