Comment 5 for bug 927870

It may be, but that wasn't the case in what I was testing - and may have worked fine. The reason it didn't work for me was that when it initially registered there was no user associated with the image, so the subsequent upload failed as the owner didn't match and it wasn't public. In the case of an admin it may not matter if the owner matches? Haven't tried it yet.

I guess it would have been good if the image didn't sit in "queued" status and instead errored when the request was made or more obviously.
