Upload icons without seeing full list

Title:
Upload icons without seeing full list

Area:
icons

Summary:
Split out the upload icon tool from the edit icons page

Description:
At the moment, when you go to upload a new icon, it has to load all your existing icons first. This is particularly difficult if you have lots of icons and a slow connection. It would be better if there was a page where you could upload new icons, and the page for editing existing icons was separate. This would also make it easier to improve both pages' usability in the future. If we wanted to get really clever, we could paginate the edit icons page the same way we've done with the view icons page, or only split it for people who have more than 100 icons. But any kind of split would do the job of letting me upload one icon without waiting for ages.

Like you, I have few icons, but I want the uploading-as-a-separate-activity functionality, too. If I'm uploading a new icon or icons then those are the only ones I'm worried about keywording, commenting, or describing, etc. If I want to edit or delete already-existing info for my other icons then there should be a link I can click from our new upload page to get to that (which could either work like our cut tags currently do, by expanding the rest of the page to show the until-now hidden icons and related contextual info, or else it could just work like a link and take you to another page for that). But like the OP, I know what it's like to crawl around online with dial-up-like wifi speeds and wait and wait and wait; part of accessibility/usability, two features this site is definitely keen on, should be "not waiting".
