No, it should not error out at the point where it does not. At the moment, you get the uninformative "unknown-warning" message before you get to the "Describe" screen, where you'd get a chance to select the file name on the server. The Upload Wizard should not care what the file is called on the uploader's computer. > (I removed "all browsers" because there's no proof or even rumour that > supports > that, and removed "Windows 7" because apparently there's a known cause) Pretty sure all browsers are affected. We have reports from users of Opera, Safari and Firefox on Commons:Upload Wizard feedback, and I've confirmed it myself on Chromium. > (also, "blocker" isn't warranted here, seriously) I don't know what the severity definitions for this Bugzilla are, but it's serious enough that if this isn't fixed within the next couple of days, we'll probably have to look at changing the upload link to point to the old upload form again. When the process fails with an utterly unhelpful error message for a common use case, who knows how many contributions we're turning down a day? I'm counting 11 reports on Commons:Upload Wizard feedback in the last five days alone. And that's only from people who spotted the small feedback link and bothered to tell us. Most people probably don't. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
