As Roberto said: don't take Android and iOS as a reference point. I simply don't want just another borked & crappy UX! Maemo Fremantle was nice at filepicking, though the build-in file picker had no option of displaying the whole FS. Harmattan was a step back, as most apps store there files in mysterious or dumb place (some downloads go to .downloads, some to Downloads, and the documents are stored in /home/user). Please, don't make Sailfish "two steps forward, one hundred steps back" by making it an Android/iOS clone.
The gallery might be usable at times, but nothing can replace a normal file picker. Tabs would work great here: one for normal picking, 2nd for the gallery. -- Marcin 2013/11/4 Martin Kolman <martin.kol...@gmail.com> > 4.11.2013 12:32, Roberto Colistete Jr.: > > Em 04-11-2013 07:41, Artem Marchenko escreveu: >> >>> As for my current person and arguably humble opinion, iOS is doing just >>> great without the file dialog.
