One thing I have done quite a bit of was Image modification. Everything from watermark removal to coping to rotating. When Im on a spur of watermark removal, it would be awesome if I could just point the program to a directory of fixed files, set a upload summary and have the bot upload those files keeping the existing file information. (that is the biggest drawback of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Tools/Commonist ) John On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 11:47 AM, Platonides <platonides(a)gmail.com> wrote:

So: 1) you always know which files have been uploaded, which haven't etc 2) you can use the tool to edit metadata for files that have already been uploaded 3) (maybe) you can use the tool to edit metadata for files that weren't actually uploaded through the tool (but are under your user account, for example) * "The user can change / add categories." - using appropriate drop-down choices from the target site. * Can (configurably) use information such as directory name or accompanying text file to determine file name, description, etc. I generally like the Commonist, so it should have most of that functionality.
