I try to upload a batch of images in openrefine version 3.9.3, but I got the error message: [badtoken] Invalid CSRF token How can I fix it? thanks in advance!

I've seen that pop up if I reuse a CSRF token across OpenRefine restarts, usually if I use an old browser tab to run OpenRefine operations. Does it sound like that applies to your situation?

Yes, OpenRefine currently wont refresh the token as it should.

I’m still getting the same error message, using OpenRefine 3.10.0, both using normal and bot passwords. I succesfully uploaded 100 images about two weeks ago, but now I can’t even get it to upload a single image. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Hello @dpma , which version of the Commons extension are you using? Please note that 0.1.5 was released 2 weeks ago.
