I just tried uploading a 12MB TIFF (a scan directly from the Library of Congress) to Commons. It waited until the whole 12MB had uploaded, of course, to tell me it didn't want it.
- Is there any reason TIFF is off the allowed media types list?
Probably nobody thought about it. Also thumbnailing might be a problem?
- Is there any way for the software to say "no" earlier in the
process of making a huge upload?
We could do a check on upload by javascript. Similarly to the current overwrite-check.
