Actually, they are supposed to start immediately (which is weirdly not the case). |

Dear ildyria! Thanks for the feedback. :-) Yes, it’s very strange—I even performed a fresh installation (latest version, etc.) and had an AI analyze the Firefox console output, yet I’m still seeing the same pattern. Unfortunately, it doesn't start automatically, and the button label was a bit intimidating for a newbie like me because it’s somewhat misleading. All the best, have a nice weekend :-) |

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
Enhancement
When uploading new photos via drag and drop, the queue is created, but the upload does not start automatically. The user is presented with a dialog showing the queued files and two buttons: "Cancel" and "Resume".
For first-time users, the word "Resume" is highly confusing and counter-intuitive because the upload process hasn't even started yet, nor was it manually paused by the user.
Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest renaming the "Resume" button to "Start", "Start Upload", or simply "Upload" when initiating a new queue. The term "Resume" should ideally only be used if an active upload process was actually paused.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be starting the upload automatically immediately after dropping the files. However, having a confirmation dialog is fine—the issue is purely the misleading wording on the button.
Additional context

This small wording change would greatly improve the user experience, especially for new users who might hesitate, wondering if they missed a step or if an error occurred.
