File uploader feedback.

[Jonathan Hung]

This email has already been sent to Fluid-Talk, but since it's work related
it should probably appear in this list too.

I apologize for the duplicates.

Hey Eli, Daphne, and Erin.

First... that uploader rocks my socks. Seriously! Every uploader should be
as friendly. :)

I spent some time putting it through the Uploader Test Protocol and
encountered a few things that I would love to see in a future iteration of
the Uploader (incremental improvements, right? :):

1. A way to selectively delete already uploaded files. (That remove column
is a tease! It only applies to files in a queue. :).

2. Make the filename clickable to "view" the file. If an image, the browser
will launch it in another window. If a document, the browser will prompt you
to download it. Does whatever the default browser is configured to do for
that file type. This is handy in case you forget what you've already
uploaded and want to see what it is.

3. Cancel button is a bit ambiguous. If I've already uploaded files, does
hitting Cancel delete the files I already uploaded? Or does Cancel just send
you back to the previous page keeping your uploaded files intact? In which
case, would "Done" be a more appropriate label?

4. Have the uploader sing songs while it's working.... really nice when
uploading a huge batch of large. Please, no muzak.


Thanks for entertaining my thoughts. :)
