Bulk import is ostensibly a time saving tool. If there's no ability to edit file information on import, you still need to go out to the site and open each individual file to edit its information. To me that eliminates much of the savings gained from the bulk import. There should be an ability for the user to edit file information after the import but before they go live. I envision the following process. If this is all on a single screen (with pagination as necessary), all the better.

Primary Use Case

• User goes to the AdminCP and imports files from a ZIP file or a directory
• AdminCP lists the imported files in an "Unapproved" state
• The user edits file information for the imported files:
  
  • Screenshot [unless there's a way to include this during the bulk import]
  • File Name
  • File Version
  • File Tags
  • Use first tag as prefix
  • Change Log
  • Description
• The user selects individual files (or all files)for "Approval" [this allows the files over time if there are too many for a single sitting]
• The user "Approves" the selected files to complete the import process for those files

Alternate Use Case

• The user includes with the uploads a CSV, XML, or other file to pre-populate the file information during the import
• The user then proceeds with Step 3 above
