For the multiple upload workflow, I prefer option 1
(creating a default
title + sequential number for each image, and allowing the user to edit the
description/add categories after upload).
The multiple upload itself (without the post upload actions) has been
implemented, should be out on the play store today or tomorrow :)
I'm still wondering whether there's any real merit in making the user
enter a custom title *and* a description, though. There's more thinking
and room for error involved on the user's part (if they pick a filename
that's taken, they won't be able to upload), and in practice most titles
and descriptions are identical. I know this is a legacy workflow from
desktop uploading, but I still think we should shake things up a bit and
push for less work on the user's part/more streamlined metadata :)
Dirty secret: The Android app doesn't yet check for name collisions, and
will happily replace them. The reason I've not been torched & pitchforked
by the community yet is because the app uses .jpeg as extension, rather
than .jpg, thus avoiding a majority of the collisions :) Should be
something that is fixed at some point (soon!), yes. I still haven't figured
out how the UX for that should look like ('this title already exists,
please rename'). Should do at some point. Suggestions for this welcome!
