Hi
This is the help list and it sounds like you actually want to suggest a
feature. This list is intended for a web developer's implementation issues.
I do however believe that the omnipresent Hixie reads this and will pick
it up...
The issue of multiple file upload has already seen some thought and
perhaps you (Freez) should check it out.

This (by FreeZ) current proposal *must* have two checks (if it is doable
at all):
1. Max size, to stop someone from uploading a full directory of several
hundred uncompressed raw images...
2. Filtering even if the accept attribute is omitted. Mac OS metadata
and Windows thumbnails, etc should be omitted. All hidden files and
directories should default to be excluded.
