Hi
In case no one noticed it: I opened this bug last week, which prevents me from finalising my mass upload: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68285
Would be awesome if anyone had some time to look into it!
Thanks,
Hi Jean-Frederic,
spurious hyphens ---------------- Perhaps a trivial remark: in your xml-file attached to the bug report in the first lines there are unnecessary hyphens (-) which cause the XML-validator (step 5 GWTools) to fail.

I have run into this as an issue a couple of times. I previously added advice on this to the end user manual at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset#Double-dash_.28_--_.29.

Dear all,
Uploads without input URL? -------------------------- As a fond user of the efficient GWToolSet i still have one wish: uploads without an input URL, straight from hard disk, a major software change? A URL is after all also internally a hard disk location.
Why? ---- As a wikipedian in special residence (6 x 2 months/GLAM) in The Netherlands I found that it takes the local IT-management of a GLAM at least 1 month to provide a URL for uploadables to Wikimedia Commons. Web editors don't understand what you mean, IT-system managers have never done it and are afraid of hackers, finally copying to the eventual upload url has sometimes to be done by other trusted personnel etc. By then my 2 month stint at the GLAM can be nearly over.
Gaining project time -------------------- So if the requirement of an upload URL might be relaxed, that would mean gaining at least 1 month of project time for media donations.
(For smaller uploads to Commons there is, e.g., the Commonist Javatool, which does not require an upload URL, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commonist, so it might be done for GlamWikiToolset as well?)
* What do you think? Do you have the same experience and need with GLAMs? * Could this be done?

Probably yes. If you have the files on your hard disk, why don't you just upload them to whatever domain on your own and ask it to be allowed for GWT? For instance tools.wmflabs.org (or even dropbox if we're really desperate).

In the past, wmf has allowed people to mail in hard disks with images. Typically the requirements were that there had to be a significant amount of images (doing this requires a bit of effort on wmf staff time, so they want to make sure there time is worthwhile. I believe previous times there was > 300000 images). All images had to be accompinied by a .txt file on the hard disk containing the initial wikitext for the file description.
If you dont have huge amounts of images ready to go all at once, than you are probably better with a bot.
