--- Comment #6 from [email protected] <[email protected]> 2012-03-20 16:51:34 UTC --- "Your" UploadWizard would be also benefit from automated error reporting. At least you could try to catch all the ridicules server errors that currently occur and report them to yourself without the need for a user collecting all of them and describing the bug in a way you aren't able to understand ;-). Automatic problem reporting software is a common feature of most desktop-apps now, why not doing this with JavaScript? You would be aware of errors as soon as they occur, would be able to fix them fast because you know what you have to know and in the end, happy users. "I contributed resolving a problem - I made the software better!" by simply clicking a button (or not even that). Just let me underline this using a simple example: Currently, if you are using UpWiz and enter a name containing a "/", it tries to "publish" the file using this name, which of course fails «There was a file by this name, "File:Defekter_Bahnautomat_(2)22/testtest.jpg", but it was deleted and you can not reupload the file. If your file is different, try renaming it.» You would be aware of this problem (yes, it should show a descriptive error message or simply remove the "/"), if you would catch errors sent back from the servers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
