Favoriten: File-Picker from client? #345

Open simonspa opened 4 years ago

simonspa commented 4 years ago

When working with the favorites import function lately I found that offering a file-picker dialog that points to the cloud storage rather odd.

In other Nextcloud apps (e.g. contacts) any import/export function operates directly with the client, i.e. files are selected from the client's storage, not from the cloud storage. To me this makes more sense - currently getting your just-exported-from-google favorites into Maps means

which is one step too many I would argue.

Similarly the export function in other apps gives me the exported file directly while in Maps just a new file in NC storage is created - not really what I would call "export".

What do others think?

Personally I find it odd the other way, but I guess it is usecase dependend.

Just to understand: for you also exporting a calendar or a contact should store the cal/vcard file on the Nextcloud instance? Then I guess it really is just a user preference... :)
