No crash. I think the "Add another file" button disabled itself after adding 10 files. I'm not seeing this limit now, though.

If you have a group of images of the same monument, you want the monument id and base description replicated automatically. However, you might also have several unrelated images, or two groups of monuments. I don't know how to make those different usecases into a UI. > As it is I'm struggling to justify putting images onto Commons when it > is so much easier, and more reliable to bung them on Facebook.
