 Hi there,
   I was just trying to upload a single file to Geonetwork's metadata
 catalogue using the 'Metadata Insert' function in Geonetwork. However,
 when I was clicking the 'Insert' button, to upload the selected file to
 the catalogue, nothing would happen. I have tracked this to a problem with
 the 'uploadDir' property in 'WEB-INF/config.xml' being set to an invalid /
 non existent target. In the logs, a FileNotFoundException exception is
 thrown, but no error notification is given to the user.

 Now, would it be possible to have some user error notification shown in
 the web interface when a user tries to insert a single metadata file when
 the uploadDir is invalid ? Something like: "Invalid upload dir. Please set
 'uploadDir' in 'WEB-INF/config.xml' to a valid target".

 Thanks
