Now I get the correct message (though a more descriptive error message would 
surely be useful in the future ;) ), so the bug as such is fixed.

Confirmed as fixed.

Either a bug or a weird API. I think I remember setting tooltips correctly in 
Sencha being rather non-intuitive, but that might just be constructive recall 
(or whatever the English term for that is) on my side, not sure.
I see the tooltips neither in Firefox nor in Rekonq.

Thanks! Here goes:

- Mass create: Cool feature, but I couldn't get it to work. 
 - Drag & Drop worked (all files appeared in the list below the box). Yay!
 - Clicking the green tickmark simply removes a file from the list. I don't 
know exactly what I'd expect from clicking that tickmark, but this is 
definitely not it ;)
 - Clicking "Review the new assets" just takes me back to the Assets page 
which is still empty. I might have created a dozen entries in some database 
now or I might not, I cannot tell

- When I entered some data in the "Single Asset" form, clicked on "Mass 
create" and then back on "Single Asset", the form was empty. Not a huge deal 
because people probably only make that mistake once, but for improved error 
tolerance, at least a warning that by navigating away you lose your 
unsubmitted input would be nice

Single Asset form:
- What if I use an open source licence not contained in the license list? 
Plus, for works like books or music, I don't think "proprietary" is commonly 
used. Maybe use "Proprietary / All rights reserved" as a more generic term?

- A Drag & Drop feature for single files would be nice here as well, that old 
"Browse" dialog feels a bit old-fashioned once you see how well D&D works in 
Mass create
- Clicking "Create" without selecting a type does nothing except marking the 
field with a very thin red frame which one might miss. There should be a 
message in the vein of "Please fill in all required fields" in addition to the 
marking
- After selecting type "image" and uploading a PNG, I get the "Unrecognized 
assetType" error as well.
- The type "image" appears twice in the list, but I get the error with both 
types

Cheers,
Thomas
