Howdy, this has kicked my behind quite a bit.
I would prefer to send multiple images all at once over the sharing component (attach to email).
as far as I can tell, I am only allowed to attach one file at a time, which would result in the user having to send 7 different emails - easy for them to screw up, its a customer review app.
Is there a way to send multiple images over the sharing component at once?
Thanks - I'm not too hopeful, but I thought id ask. Cant seem to find a thread on doing this.
perhaps i could zip the multiple image files into one file?
i would think i could put the images in a list, but im sure that would just be the path, not the image.
edit: tested the list - thats a no go.
currently, i take a photo, and set it to an image function on screen - i can toggle through them after taking them, so i know app inventor has the capacity to house them.

i think i have read through that one before - would this require the user to download or enable anything additional?
and im sure gmail accounts will come into play - can you help me understand the meaning of these lines?
