After I've chosen files to be uploaded (or donated if you will) with UploadWizard I can click on any file to choose a different file. This is something I haven't seen before and feels not intuitive. 1. What I would expect after clicking on a name would be to change the name of the file being uploaded. 2. What I would expect after clicking on a thumbnail (which is not a thumbnail BTW and feels wrong too) would be to see the picture being uploaded (it works as expected later on). 3. Remove shouldn't simply remove the file. Note that I don't want push "upload" until the names are OK. If it is problematic then you should add a note that files are not uploaded yet and I can change their names later. Also if you cannot display thumbnails I think you should show blank thumbnails but rather only show names of files.
If you click on the thumbnail you should get a zoomed-in version of the file. Are you sure that's what happens? If so, what browser and OS are you using? Otherwise, this is known behavior -- I was sure there was a bug for this but now I can't find it. I agree that it's probably not good, but it's less urgent. You can still cancel if you want. I agree we should fix it so you can alter the filename instead.

Hm... Yes, so if the thumbnail thing is not intentional then this is probably related to Bug 26072. I would still expect a different behavior when clicking on a name or at least you could a a tooltip (title) to explain what happens when you click on a name. My setup: Opera version: 11.52 Compilation: 1100 Platform: Win32 System: Windows 7 Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; pl) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.52
Clicking on the name opens a file upload dialog, but although changing the file to upload does change the text displayed (Instead of "File1.jpg" I now see "File2.jpg") the thumbnail does not change.
Clicking on the name activates the hidden input element, and hence opens the upload file dialog. I have added a patch to fix this bug : https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,4778.
Thanks for the patch... Tested and works. Now, hopefully someone will apply it.
