@jarrod I've just found your amazing Shortcut for uploading images to Imagekit, thank you. I was hoping to use it to upload to Bunny's CDN but it turns out I'm not smart enough to make that happen so I'll go to ImageKit, but I'm having trouble uploading multiple images. Do you use it for that?
@joshua Oh, thank you! Do you mean upload multiple images in one go? I usually do them one at a time so that I can set the alt text and caption, and then paste it into a text file right where I want the image. But I’m sure it could be adapted to run for multiple images and then just paste all the markdown for all the images at once.
@jarrod that's my hope - get a bunch, 20 or so, and upload and set a generic alt text, then edit as required in the blog post. Is multiple images a hard sell?
@joshua It took some time for me to get to this, but I hadn’t forgotten! I made a new version and managed to finagle the shortcut to work as you described. And I took the opportunity to streamline it, and add additional comments and setup actions to make it more clear what’s happening.

Let me know if it works alright for you. It was a fun challenge and worthwhile to revisit the shortcut to remind myself of how it works.
@joshua I also made another version with that previews each image as it works through them, and asks for alt text and a caption for each one. I call it 'Maximum Interaction', as opposed to the other 'Minimum Interaction' one that preps all the images with placeholder alt text and captions in one fell swoop.
