Title Replace PLUpload with another library
Status Completed

Addon core_form_interfaces
Description PLUpload is a bit outdated and has not had any development for a while. Furthermore, the interface (at least as we designed it) is not very intuitive as there is no support for removing specific files in a multi field. It has also been a bit buggy throughout its use.

Consider another uploader library:

* DropzoneJS - Has a very nice default interface that works well with Bootstrap. Supports multi uploads very well. Can edit uploaded files (edit screen / delete buttons). Also stale and has not been updated in a while.
* JQuery File Upload - Would probably be easiest to implement, but it requires JQuery. It supports editing uploaded files. Also stale and recently marked read-only.
* Uppy - Only good library I can find that has active development. Supports a lot of features like uploading from external sources and even camera / microphone. I don't know if it can serve an edit screen. Looks to be hardest to implement of all of them. Its default interface seems a bit big in UI size.
