Currently, text files show nothing, but the image files show the image. That makes the screen look a little messy. * text file --> `fa-file-text-o` icon from Font Awesome.  ##### Uploading error  --- ### Original proposal in the `Files` section of a project, i can upload single files (selecting the <kbd>+</kbd> symbol and then choosing `Upload file` in the pull-down menu). this gives me a drag&drop panel where i can drop a single file. however, when trying to add more than one file, i get: > Error uploading file: "You can not upload any more files."  I find this a bit disappointing (as there is no problem to add multiple files in one commit when doing it via git). tested on `gitlab-ce omnibus 8.4.3` and confirmed today on `gitlab.com`
