how to use "Find Artifact"

[Zemian Deng <ke...@gmail.com>]

Hi list,
I have couple feedback after some usages of the application.

The menu item "Find Artifact" seems very confusing. Is it allowing me to
upload a artifact into an internal repo? why not label so "upload artifact"?

Also, the notes on this form is very confusing too. For example: "The entire
file will *not* be uploaded to the server."??? Do you mean to say it will
not be on server until it's completely finished upload like progress bar is
reached to 100%?

I like the rest of the application so far. Great job on those!

No, it's allowing you to find an artifact that already exists in the
repository by calculating a checksum locally, uploading the checksum,
and comparing that to the checksums of the artifacts in the repo.

There is a request open for an upload capability:
