pic shows situation with additional data open and closed

If one tries to upload files with wikimedi Commons, after you put in the file descriptions and push the "next" button, the system checks different things. If this check fails, the descriptions (in fact all uploads of a multible upload even if not faulty) are not uploaded, a error message indicates one should fix the errors. So far so good.

But errors in additional data do not occure in the fields which are shown as a standard (and in this case, the red error Message is not shown too, so you see you have a error, but not where).
 
I have a Sony digital cam with GPS-Sensor, which delivers GPS height EXIF-data which do not conform with WP Commons GPS formating. I know to have it fixed manually.  No real problem. But other people might wonder where the error is, because the GPS data (and error message) are only shown if one opens "add Categories and additional information" link. 

The upper part of the picture shows the standard situation: additional info and error are not shown, the lower part shows situation after opening additional info link


1. Possibly, if any error occurs all additional (or at least all faulty) information should be displayed, then you can see the red error marking too and fix the error. 
2. in multible uploads possibly all files without fualts could be uploaded anyway and only faulty ones displayed afterward - ~~~~

Bumping highest and clarifying the summary since this seems like a purely technical, but easily solved issue that is impeding new contributions.

Adding Neil as CC and asking him to look at this
Comment 3 Rob Lanphier 2012-01-23 22:59:33 UTC
Cc'ing Alolita.  Not highest priority, but seems like maybe high priority usability issue.
