File chooser on top of newly uploaded image is confusing in Google Chrome and Safari

[oestrogen]

When annotating newly uploaded images (or editing old images) the file chooser sits on top of the image. This ain't pretty and, more importantly, in Google Chrome the file chooser says "No file chosen", which make me uncertain if the picture actually will be saved.

Same thing goes for Safari it seems.

Firefox and Opera show an empty text field instead.

This was a deliberate design choice (that is, we think it *is* pretty). But I see your point about the potentially confusing language in Chrome. I'll kick it over to one of our designers to see what he thinks.

Well, ugly may have been a bit strong as a choice of word, and I do agree that it works well in Firefox. As a user I guess I'm kind of instinctively conservative, and I haven't seen this solution before. As a designer I can see it's merits though. :)

Anyhow, another aspect of the way Chrome displays it is that if the image is dark you don't see the text at all (which could be a problem if your trying to replace an image) or it's partially dark you would only kind of maybe see the text.

This is going away in 1.5. We now have a replace file button.
