Comment (by azaozz):

 The main usability concern is that both the select and type new Meta Name
 fields are available at the same time. Seems that this confuses a lot of
 users.

 The same scenario exists on the first tab in the uploader, where both
 "From your computer" and "From Internet" are shown at the same time. Seems
 that many users don't like that/get confused, so we will have to separate
 them there in two different tabs.

 Adding an explanation that only one "Meta Name" field should be used would
 improve the usability (and I personally prefer not to use js there too)
 but unless we really make only one field available, it seems this will
 remain confusing for many.
