Request: Have the system automatically post a comment when the photos or audio have changed. We could then receive notifications on these types of changes, the same as notifications on any other comment: Mockup: [image] Reason: I really saw a lot of value in @karoopixie ’s suggestion on the recen…

And my mock-up says “media” changes to cover audio as well as images.

Thoroughly agree with this - when I’m reviewing sightings, people sometimes don’t realise that an image failed to upload or something, so my go-to is usually to write something like “No picture!” and hit ‘reviewed’. More often than not, it seems that people realise their mistake, add the image, and…

Exactly! Although that might be covered under the DQA section changes that Tony said is already planned for the notification revamp. @tiwane , would that be covered since “Has Photos or Sounds” is a DQA setting ? I was thinking more about if someone removes photos from multi-photo observations wh…

This feature request would still help for changes from 1 media file to 2 or more, or from multiple media files down to 1 file, though (I’d link examples, b…

there are (fortunately very rare) situations where the only photo is swapped out for another. The one time I encountered it it did not appear to be malicious, rather that they had realised afterward that they had uploaded the wrong photo just by getting the “unexpected” ID of something else. But it …

It would be cool if those notifications replaced themselves, if you add photos multiple times (slow Internet or finding there’re more to upload) there could be a row if warnings.

[image] Star3: This feature request would still help for changes from 1 media file to 2 or more, or from multiple media files down to 1 file That would be useful if I request someone splits an observation as it has multiple species, they do so but don’t comment.

Example 1 - media removed: 2 species are on the same observation . Observer removes photos of 2nd species, but leaves no comment. I would never have known if observer hadn’t started making additional IDs, which triggered the notifications. Example 2 - media changed: changed 1 photo for another . I…

If an observation has no media evidence and then some is added, that should trigger a notification that the quality grade had changed. But additional evidence wouldn’t trigger that.
