This wouldn't be a simple thing to implement though as essentially the multi-uploader field would need to be modified to also allow selection of a gallery. Then we use that field in the cms download screen. v11.0 is pretty-much feature locked at this point so this may be something to consider for 11.1 or later.

PDStig 2024-04-15 00:22 administrator ~8595	Yeah I figure a vast majority of downloads will have either 0 or 1 images, so a gallery is overkill.
