I'm sorry, but I think we've miscommunicated. The discussion here is related to a uploader functionalty that would make uploading larger numbers (or large sized) files more user friendly and reliable. This could be accomplished with Java, but because the Java would need to access files on your system it would have to do things which are not permitted for "sandboxed" Java applets. When applets are "signed" they can perform actions outside of the "Java sandbox" without the really nasty security warnings. Signing is otherwise pretty much invisible to the user. The other point I was making was that in the past I had inadvertently left the media player triggering the nasty warning messages, and no one complained and many (virtually all? as far as I could tell) went ahead and used the player anyways. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
