I had that error when doing a test upload. I retried, changing the filename, and it worked. That made me wonder: Is there a way for making the UploadWizard to append a random number to the default filename? I'm pretty sure lots of participants will have trouble because of trying to upload images with already occupied filenames, specially if the names come from cameras (e.g. DSC0001). If a random number is appended to the name (e.g. DSC0001 - 28392), we would heavily reduce this problem.

Hi Rasco, I confirmed that "<api-error-unknownerror>" is a filename problem. We should (1) tell the uploader that it is a filename issue. (2) allow them to go back to the page where the uploader may give a new name -- rather than give an option to retry.

Yes, I have received some e-mails from various people that they do have this issue in WLM CZ. I do believe however it is a filename issue, as it is highly logical to expect files named IMG_401.JPG to be kinda problem to upload... as pretty much everyone tried to do so in past 10 years. So they were kindly asked to change the filename...
