Bug ID: 69852 Summary: upload.py: Add an option to automatically abort uploads if the file already exists Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: martineznovo@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
If we are trying to upload a lot of files and some of them already exist, it would be nice to have an option to automatically skip those uploads (because of resuming the batch upload operation, or because of manual upload of some of them)
There's still no option to do a "batch upload", but I handle it with a script that runs a list of pywikibot commands in a batch. And it gets stuck waiting for a user response when it receives a warning, which is annoying.
