item.assets?
Is it possible to access linked files yet?
I'm trying to do something like this:
{% for image in item.assets %}{{ image.path }}{% endif
%}

Galen, here is a link to where we explain the files tab:

I understand what you guys are trying to accomplish with the Files tab and the current functionality is beneficial. However, it was be extremely beneficial to be able to access linked files as template data (item.files or item.assets), especially for pages that do not have a predetermined number of uploads.

I understand the need for multiple-asset fields to be there. The biggest issue is that the files tab is not the place where that should be happening. We'll be adding multiple files and repeating fields into template data in the near future, which should be more than what you'll need for this set. Thanks for your patience!

Any movement on this? It's been ~6 months and I'd love to have a bunch of thumbnails associated to either a blog post or a page.

We'd love to see this too

The best way to do multiple file uploads is with sub-pages. If you page is product.tpl and you want to have multiple images for a product, you can just create a template named product.pic.tpl and use that for each sub page.
That template can define a pic field, description, whatever you want. We have several customers that are using this method very successfully. We do it all over the place on orderedlist.com.
The fact that it is possible in this way leads us to focus on things that are not possible, like forms, APIs, etc.
Definitely not that we don't want to allow it at some point, but more that it currently is easy and possible. Hope that explains this a bit better.

What about on blog posts?

It does not really make sense to me to have multiple images used this way on a blog post. The benefit of multiple images as I see it is for galleries and things like that. Usually when I use images in a blog post it is in a specific way, to show a point or provide another way of showing the information.
If you really need a bunch of images on a blog post, just upload them with the files tab and paste them in as images where you want them.

Who are you to define your customers needs?
We started using Harmonyapp recently, and it has been a great experience. Until we came to the part where we needed image galleries, and more specific, image galleries inside our blog posts.
I have worked on developing major CMS systems with hundreds of thousands of customers, and I know by experience how boring it is to create a great backend and GUI to handle files and images properly. But it MUST be done, and I am shocked that such a basic and important thing is not yet in place.
When can we expect a real groovy file handling solution, that will support thumbs and highres versions of images that we upload, and that can be used as an image gallery inside ANY template type?
What is the workaround until then? We must be able to show image galleries inside our blog posts.

Heinrich,
We are in the process of updating templates to make it really easy for you to accomplish this. I can't say for sure when this will be available, but know that we are working hard on it.
In the mean time, here's a work around:
Let me know if you have any questions.

We're waiting patiently on this too.
