--- Comment #5 from Mark Holmquist <mtrac...@member.fsf.org> 2012-08-07 19:51:51 UTC --- Hm. A big concern of mine is that less-experienced users might see an error message like "incompatible filetype" and not know what to do. For those users, it would almost certainly be nicer to not even allow the mistakes that might cause the error. We already have plenty of confusing error messages in UW, I'm not about to add another one! The more I think about this, the more I think it might be better to solve this problem with a server-side configuration setting--let the site admins specify that they want all file extensions (upper|lower)case, and then perform that operation on the client-side before upload. Maybe that's the way to solve this, because there's no burden on the user whatsoever, and it would make things look a lot more uniform. Thoughts? (also, I'm not currently working on this, but I might during the next UW sprint, which is coming up soonish) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
