[Commons-l] batch upload problems of museum photos (got permission)

[Aude]

The tool should be stable.  It should save my upload session, should my
internet connection drop or computer crash or even let me pause the
uploading. My upload speed at home is not that fast, so it always takes a
while and

Also, with commonist, I know some or all of my files transferred but I don't
see them anywhere on commons.  Except three images somehow showed up.  When
I tried again overnight, it managed to transfer everything, but the tool
needed to create gallery pages for me before the upload finalized.  If it
fails in this last step, my file transfer apparently is canceled and files
lost.  I really don't care about having a gallery of my images, but simply
please let my images be transferred.

With Commonplace, I couldn't even start the upload.  It froze when I clicked
"upload" after entering my username and password.  I have no clue why, but
the interface on the tool seemed nice.  Would be good to get that tool
working well.
