Ah. Please follow the steps that Miika outlined. If that is not something
you're comfortable with, let me know and I can do part of this on the
server side and make things easier for you.

Well, the problem was that you had to match the previous format fairly
closely. It's still not as flexible as I'd like. And as I said earlier, I
think the right solution is a date and time picker control.

It might be worth changing the display order for the cloud bar to top, or, possibly more difficult, shutting the menu first before starting the upload. But in normal startup etc it works well.

We now have two interaction flows where for some people the notification
is behind a menu. I'll try to figure out if I can force menus closed before
showing the notification...

We should at least file bugs on those two. As I said before, the date
editing needs to be addressed, and we need a solution for the cylinder
input.
