After successful developing python back-end for Sebastian Tschan jQuey Plugin  I've decided to make a reusable app for that purpose. So: This is a plugin, made using multiupload form from Sebastian Tschan. It uses jQuey UI and jQuery instead of Flash uploader. On Django side it uses sorl-thumbnails and PIL.

Drag & Drop support: Allows to upload files by dragging them from your desktop or filemanager and dropping them on your browser window.
