My efforts > in writing descriptions is wasted right? I've seen high-resolution photos being uploaded by hand on a 128kbps uplink (this was before UploadWizard and I saved uploader's life by showing them how to use Commonist). A whole night process requiring constant operator attention? No, thank you. Metadata and large content can and actually are handled pretty separately. It belongs to the error handling and transaction management what happens if one of those processes fails (upload can fail too). Ideally all those situations should be recoverable, even if - for example - binary uploads failed but the metadata are fine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
