[ZendTo] Request for better error message / input validation

[Orion Poplawski]

One of our users got the following message when uploading a dropoff:

Upload Error
     Trouble while attempting to save the information for 
'example_raytrace_suite.zip'. Please notify the system administrator.

It took looking in the server zendo.log to find:

  Error: Failed to add file1 example_raytrace_suite.z
ip to drop-off 2969. Error was Data too long for column 'description' at 
row 1


And apparently description is a tinytext and limited to 255 chars.

Can the input form be changed to restrict the description to 255 chars 
and/or have a check for length before attempting to add it to the database?


Thanks!
