User Feedback: Batch Upload

This is looking really good! I do wonder if instead of just "Batch Upload" it should say something like "Upload Training Images" or something, to distinguish it from the loading of a single image of an unknown seed? Very minor, anyway.

I LOVE how the Family-->Genus-->species fields are limited by the previous one. That's perfect. A "clear all" button might be nice at some point, but probably not as big a deal in real use as when I'm just messing around with it 😄

There are a few entries in the "species" column that have a capital letter at the beginning. I had a look at the original list and they appear to be instances where the list is referring to groups of species rather than individual species. For the moment all the ones with capitals can be deleted except for Zonale (Pelargonium zonale), which should be changed to a lower-case z.

Since the name code is fixed once the species is picked, it would be nice if it auto-populated this field, if that can be done. It doesn't even have to be visible on this form since we don't need it as users, as far as I know.

The same comments as in the Metadata feedback about the Sample ID Prefix (just Sample ID) and Sample Description being optional.

I imagine the directory name will be more important once we have the ability to view/modify our directories; I do like that it's auto-generated.

As with the Sample Description, I think the Directory Description field should be optional. (or maybe it's just unnecessary? I'm not sure at this point how it would be different from the sample description.)

As for the uploads part, I didn't have any trouble selecting files (though it's only accepting pngs, but I assume you know that). When I went to upload a set of about 10 files, though, it looks as if the first two files worked fine and then it hung up on the third for about 10 minutes until I finally hit cancel. The upload speed for the first two was potentially long enough that it could become a problem if we're uploading dozens of files, but that's probably a later problem.

It's been really great getting to play with the new interface, thank you!!!!
