Uploading Multiple Images Not Intuitive for Non-Geeks

@slkfsdf8y34ljhsfsdfkuhfkl84hj Thanks for the feedback! We do hear you, and we really hope we keep improving!

I agree that we can improve the workflow for adding images, but I disagree with your assessment of it taking three times longer than the classic editor. In Gutenberg your images are inserted as a gallery. The only overhead you have is transforming this gallery to image blocks. Some people will want to have these images in a gallery block, some will want them as separate images.

There are some improvements I could suggest though:

* When you drag multiple images in the editor, ask the user if they want to create a gallery or image blocks.
* The image block should allow inserting multiple images, and in that case append extra image blocks.

This issue on Github might be of interest to you: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9783. I highly recommend sharing your thoughts there so we can fix it well. Since there is an existing open issue on Github, I’m marking this topic as resolved.

These two solutions are exactly what I am looking for.

For the other part – I have writers and I am a marketer, I manage many sites – own and client ones. I have many partners – other marketers. We did manage to check the time, gather feedback from the editors and talk to other marketers. That data is subjectively expressed by the majority of those people. I am looking objectively on that part. It is against my business interest right now to use Gutenberg despite me wanting to move forward. The majority of people objectively decide to stick to the Classic Editor. The Gutenberg plugin objectively has the majority of the votes with low stars. These are numbers, not my feelings. You can read throw the negative reviews and you’ll see the same point – the workflow is slower. Yes, it is better for static sites where you can have 5 elements and 15 pages, but when you have to manage content editing like news for example, the workflow is significantly slower. Not only my opinion – I see that from all the editors I know. They all say that.

Yes, I saw that github page today when I searched for a solution. Will try if I can publish it there as well. It did discourage me that it was a year later and nobody acted. Another bad impression from Gutenberg, I did expected that things like these are fixed.

Sometimes it does help to provide extra information on a one year old issue to move it forward and prioritise.

I created a Github issue for the other solution too: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/18501. Would be great to have your feedback there as well.
