GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open any iOS Safari browser and go to umletino web page
2. Tap Import

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Ability to import UML diagram for editing on umletino
Instead: iOS Safari only allows importing of photos

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iOS Safari and umletino

Please provide any additional information below.
Either have a iOS app for umletino to allow importing of uxf files, or have the 
ability to generate text based UML layouts that can be easily copied, saved and 
pasted to/from a text file to the umletino screen.

Hi

I don't have an iPhone so it's not possible to reproduce the issue, but this 
sounds like a browser issue which will hopefully be fixed in one of their next 
versions.

In the meantime, have you tried using Chrome?
At least on Android Chrome I can click on Import and then select a random 
document like an uxf

I doubt it, as iOS is a closed ecosystem. I think Apple would only allow 
importing of photos into its browser. Even trying out other browser apps in iOS 
do not help.

That is why I'm hoping if there is a way to import uml layout files from the 
clipboard (copy-paste function of text). Isn't uxf supposed to be some form of 
xml after all?

Ok, if this problem also occurs on Chrome, it seems like some kind of an "Apple 
policy" to only let the user import photos which means we won't see a fix.

About the textarea to paste diagrams into:
Of course that would be a possible alternative, although it's less convenient. 
We just didn't knew about the issue with importing diagrams on iOS.

In one of the future versions we will try to improve usability on mobile 
devices in general (like zooming, touch-controls, ...), perhaps we can check 
the OS you're running and decide if you get the current file-browser-approach 
(default) or a textarea input to paste an uxf into (iOS)

You can also choose to add Dropbox functionality, like how draw.io does theirs. 
That is at least allowed on iOS Safari. Files can at least be easily saved into 
and retrieved from Dropbox..
