Paste/drag-and-drop image polishing #2275

Open juliushaertl opened 2 years ago

juliushaertl commented 2 years ago

For some smaller polishing it would be very nice to have some immediate feedback when pasting or dragging an image into a document. Currently there is only a loading indicator after the file was uploaded. Getting a placeholder into the document with the loading indicator might be trickier but would improve the user experience quite a lot.

I agree. We played with the background color of the editor a bit as that's what the files app does when files are dragged in. It did look quite nice. Not sure if it did not make it in. @eneiluj - I think you were experimenting with this, right?

Sorry for the very late answer.

There already is an immediate indicator: the menubar icon changes to a loading spinner while uploading an attachment.

I like the idea of a placeholder. Can we display something in the document without writing stuff in its content? Or maybe we can insert something that looks like the loading ImageView and which is deleted when the upload ends.

@max-nextcloud The editor background color changes when dragging something over. This is merged. So it looks nice/ok when dragging something over but the background color goes back to normal when the upload starts. So there is no "upload in progress" indicator in the editor during the upload :grin:. Just before and after.

@juliushaertl Should we schedule that for 26?

Hello,

A progress bar would be very appreciated for longer uploads (because of a slow connection, or because uploading a big image or video). This progress bar would be nice in the placeholder!

For now, we don't know when it's going to finish, and many people like me have started distrusting animated loading icons, because they often don't stop spinning when something fails.
