[Clipart] Getting ready to give up.

[Gerald Ganson]

 FYI all

I had what appears to be six succesful uploads this morning. (animal
artfavor....)

The first three I uploaded from Firefox on my Win XP client, and the
next three from IE on my Windows box. All six display ok when I click on
them on OpenClipArt.

My big trouble is that I have about 1400 files to upload, and can't seem
to get a ZIP file to go.

Single files seem to work for me in my environment.

Adrian, we are trying to figure out this problem.

Can you provide more information about the type of system you are using
by filling out your original bug post with more details:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5653

We are now looking to see if this is a windows and/or IE bug possibly,
as we are having success uploading from firefox on linux.
