Description of updated version of pix doesn't show up in all pictures list

Hi,

I have updated a new version of a picture, and added a description that I forgot to include when uploading the first version.

When I ask for the list of all pix, this text doesn't show up in the Description column.

Why ? What should I do to fix this issue, please?

Thanks.

pix is here and list of pix is there.

MW 1.24.1

EDIT: Looks like the special page "List of files" uses the "Comment" field text in the "Description" cell instead of the "Description" text. Looks like a bug.

Your 1st link is the "file page" in namespace 6 (File, Image, or localized "Fichier" in your case.) It contains an "upload history" ("Historique du fichier"). As you said that's empty, your upload contained no comment.

Your 2nd link is a special page listing all uploaded files chronologically (newest on top). For 2015-02-28 18:51 this list contains the image for your 1st link, with the same empty upload log, the same timestamp, the same size, etc., all as it should be.

In other words, there is no newer version of Atterrisseur_avant_apres.JPG on this wiki, the old 2015-02-28 18:51 is still the current version. Wild guess, did you try to upload exactly the same image with a comment? MediaWiki completely drops all balls and marbles it might possess if images have the same hash, just don't try that, it doesn't work as expected.

My failed experiments with another image on commons: c:File:DPI_and_PPI.png, I tried to fix a broken link in my upload 12:17:56 with a revert 12:20:08 and a new upload (correct link in comment) 12:22:03. After that I spent hours to convince MediaWiki, that I want in fact the new image, not the old image, eventually luck or bigChunkedUpload.js managed this.

Thanks Man,

Actually, I deleted the first version to see if my description field showed up, this is why the history doesn't list the first version.

I'll do a test with another pix and will come back here to tell what.

Thanks.
