Was that above an automated comment?
I don't know what information is lacking here.
My POV:
"HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error"s are happening pretty often when uploading
to Picasaweb, so the user should not be bugged with a retry dialog every time
when this can be easily automated.
If f-spot re-tried automagically, say 3 or 5 times before throwing the
retry-dialog at the user, most times no user intervention were needed at all.
Have you ever read a mailer daemon failure message? It says "I tried (n) time,
but this seems to be a permanent error." This is the right behaviour. When a
machine can try to submit the same content several times "OnError", no human
should need to do it. That's what machines are made for.
Pedro's POV:
The retry-dialog asks you if you want to retry (as if you wouldn't hit "Retry"
99% of the time anyway, except for if you notice that it still won't work after
5 times!), so we don't care to fix this. Humans should serve machines. Go
begging upstream if you want the application to do its work.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand this reasoning at all.
Reopening as New.
