Gmail implements multi-selection and progress bars

Google announced today two new improvements Gmail's attachment system by integrating the ability to multi-select files and preview uploads through progress bars, providing a very similar visual accompaniment to the system adopted by Orkut.

Prior to the changes, Gmail users had to wait for the upload without any status notification, the disappearance of the file location field was an indication of the possible upload completion. An incredibly simple and very useful improvement.
