media permissions: visibility of acknowledgement information #1258

Open helenvarley opened 7 months ago

helenvarley commented 7 months ago

when a media item's permissions are set to "use with acknowledgement", the owner can add a note in the media item's edit interface about how it should be acknowledged (e.g. correct name of copyright holder). another player can use this media item by clicking on the acknowledge button, after which they can assign the media item to any stages they have edit access to.

however, there is no way for this player to see the information that the owner may have entered regarding HOW the media item should be acknowledged. it would make sense for this information to appear on the overlay for assigning the media item to a stage. at the moment this overlay has a huge amount of empty space.

my suggestion: can the overlay be a pop-up window in the centre, similar to the edit interface, rather than an overlay at the side? this would be more consistent with the overall design and functionality of the studio, & the information in this window could be similar to the stages tab in the media edit interface, with the addition of the name of the player who is the media owner, and any notes that they have written for the acknowledgement.

remove the information at the top, replace with uneditable media name and owner name add the permissions status (e.g. "Use with acknowledgement" or "Use with permission" and any notes that the owner has provided. remove any other tabs e.g. permissions, voice, link, so that only the Stages one is there for assigning to stages.

here are some rough mock-ups of how the window could look:

this still needs to be addressed. currently if i click to acknowledge use of someone else's material, there's no way for me to find out how they want it to be acknowledged.
