Thank you for adding this Jason! Some how I did not get a notification of it so I did not comment earlier. Did you see it appear in a notice yourself? I picked it up only from the Dashboard.

I do not recall if I received a notification of the file being uploaded. If I did, I ignored it.

Thanks I will check into that - maybe there is a setting that can be fixed.
