According to your documentation, HTML5 file upload including multiple selection of files is possible with Hippo CMS.
However, I'm unable to do so using Hippo CMS 7.9.6 and Chrome 40+.

The HTML input tag seems missing the multiple attribute.



What am I missing?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the HTML5 multiple file upload is only
possible when uploading directly in the gallery and assets folders in
the 'explorer', not in the image selection dialog within a document /
rich text area.

Hope this helps.

You are 100% correct.
I believe there is a room for improvement here though

Hi,

I tried the same thing but it doesn't work with my configuration.
The flash version does allows me to select multiple items and upload them.

I'm running chrome on mac os x and hippo cms 7.9.6

What am i missing?

Are you in the assets section or in a picker? It does not work in the picker as far as I know, but does work while in the browse perspective.

BTW. I would advise you to upgrade to 7.9.7. It contains quite some bugfixes and improvements for multi file uploads.
