Hello Jean-Baptiste,
Running the latest revision in the distribution, (4895:ad933d160a7c), I have
followed your steps precisely and do not see the behavior you state. Making
sure that the user foobar is not an admin user, the only upload options I see
are 'Upload files', 'Upload a directory of files' and 'Import datasets from
your current history'. I'm not sure what changes may have occurred between
your rev and the latest available regarding this behavior, but could you update
and see if the behavior changes? Let us know if you still see problems.
Thanks,
Greg Von Kuster
