Comment 3 for bug 241956

Was that above an automated comment?

I don't know what information is lacking here.

My POV:
"HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error"s are happening pretty often when uploading to Picasaweb, so the user should not be bugged with a retry dialog every time when this can be easily automated.
If f-spot re-tried automagically, say 3 or 5 times before throwing the retry-dialog at the user, most times no user intervention were needed at all.
Have you ever read a mailer daemon failure message? It says "I tried (n) time, but this seems to be a permanent error." This is the right behaviour. When a machine can try to submit the same content several times "OnError", no human should need to do it. That's what machines are made for.

Pedro's POV:
The retry-dialog asks you if you want to retry (as if you wouldn't hit "Retry" 99% of the time anyway, except for if you notice that it still won't work after 5 times!), so we don't care to fix this. Humans should serve machines. Go begging upstream if you want the application to do its work.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand this reasoning at all.

Reopening as New.
