Native desktop application designed for mass uploading files on upload campaigns

In the course of actions designed to grab many free photos for commons:Wikimedia Commons, there's often a need of an upload interface without most options of the otherwise hard process of a suitable upload information. The UploadWizard extension provides a way to setup upload campaigns, simplified Upload interfaces for a target goal. This has been successfully used in the European competition Wiki Loves Monument 2011. However this still has some shortcomings, as presented by Tomasz W. Kozłowski (one of the core organizers of WLM 2012) at, thus suggestiong the creation of a desktop tool to be used for facilitating the upload, which can provide additional features, such as storing the prepared files.

The proposed application would be tailored to the needs of the Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 competition.

The deliverable is such an application, which would then be ready for Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 competition taking place in September,
