Display upload size limit on forms

[hotdoghero]

I want to say this was around in 1.x (no longer have an install of it), but the file size limit for uploads doesn't appear to be displayed anywhere on the resource upload or update forms.

A file that is over the limit just shows up with a strikethrough over the filename after the upload attempt, but no actual feedback as to why the upload failed after it's sent to the server.

Seems client side validation to make sure the upload is under the file size limit could be done with JS. This was pretty standard with Flash based uploaders and seems like a pretty strong regression in terms of user experience/feedback to have it done server side.

I'm curious if I'm mistaken and missing something obvious or is this a non-issue for other users?

Makes sense to me. I'm just setting up Resource Manager now on a site. Seems to me that file size limitation and maximum user storage limitation should be disclosed to user/member even prior to attempting to upload.
