filenames are frequently meaningless. In the same vein, it appears to
silently overwrite existing images of that name (see
http://wikidiy.com/mediawiki-1.8.2/index.php/Image:Punk.jpg ). This is
very, very bad. :)
A good idea - but it interferes with the one-click ease of the tool. Do you
have any ideas of ways to add this feature and still have it really easy to
use?
Well, instead of having "(import this)" below each image, there could
be a blank text field and a submit button "Upload". with a tip
somewhere "Write in a filename for Commons".
Probably a 5x4 (height x width) instead of 4x5 display would be better.
or since you can only import one image at a time anyway, you could
give each image a radio button to select it, then at the bottom/top
have the write-in field for the filename and the 'upload/import'
button and any other notices you want to give.
