Hi, I noticed that if you change taxonomy after you upload the files, the taxonomy isn't updated. I think the most sensible thing would be to apply the taxonomy upon clicking the next button rather than the upload button.

Thanks.

That`s not very economical. With every upload, the right taxonomy and all other fields are submitted and saved to database. So, if I also want to realize your idea, I need to do a second request which reproduces all the steps done before.
But you could alter the form and give the form elements numbers, so that the users know which fields have to edited first.

Hi, I understand what you're saying, but this is still a usability issue, and so isn't it still worth discussing? My suggestion might not be suitable, but maybe a different solution could be found. Because currently people are getting confused that their taxonomy changes are not applying.

The problem is you could mention this fact to every field which was included CCK, for example, the same as taxonomy. So I don't know how to resolve, difficult thing.
Perhaps a JavaScript could warn the people if a form element is changed after upload, but this would also confuse them?! So that doesn't seem to be a right solution, either.

I also feel that it will be useful if we see the options for taxonomy on NEXT STEP. On that form, we can submit the taxonomy. It will be a useful feature.

It happens like this in my case.

I post photos from Celebrity Events. In general cases, i am having photos of 10 celebrities coming on birthday of Jennifer Lopez.
So, in one photo the taxonomy is Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony
In second photo, its Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce
In third photo is Beyonce and Lindsay Lohan

I upload all these photos at the same time, but all the photos come under different taxonomies.

I am not sure if i understand the thing completely.
