WSS v3.0 - metadata is not requested after multiple upload

[qwertyjjj]

One of the nice features in WSS is that when uploading a single file, the software uploads the file and then asks you for all the metadata linked to it.

However, when you upload multiple files, it does not do this. The workaround is that you have to go back, find all the files you just uploaded (could be hundreds) and edit them in a datasheet view. Wouldn't it be better if you were asked for this while uploading the files?

If I am not totally misstaken I read that when doing multiple uploads you can't add any metadata (since you are never asked to do so). The workaround listed was as you said, you have to go back and change it manually.
You might be able to write your own webpart or something that would do what you want. You have the same problem if you are using the Explorer view, then you can't add any metadata (or you are not promted to do so even if you have mandatory fields).
