    Best practice to store dozens of pictures in Content node

    I'm using Umbraco 7.1.6.

    I developing a website to show builded articles by my customer. Any article can be to have from 3 to 20 pictures.

    I'm using "Multiple Media Picker" now. But I thinkt that it is not the best idea.
    It is useful because I can upload many image per type.
    But it is not useful because:

    • to maintain Media section in order it is important to replicate the same tree structure that I have in Content section
    • when an Article will be delete, the webmaster will be do delete in both Content and Media sections.
    • I can't define the MediaType that "Multiple Media Picker" will be use to create new media.
    • if user need to delete a media he will go to Media section, than navigate in the same tree of actual content tree.

    Before of Umbraco 7, I ever used Content documents to store both text and picture elements: I defined a "Article" content type, then a "Pictures" and "Picture" content type. Any "Article" contain a "Pictures" node, and any "Pictures" contains one or more "Picture" node.
    It works fine, but this solution can't offer me the "Multi upload" feature.

    Then, do you know a better solution to optain the advantage of both solutions?

    • "Multi upload" feature
    • Facility to archive and editing content owned media.

    Thanks!
