Previewing could also be interesting for the system sharing dialogs [1] (as a way to check the identity of a content item, before it is shared). Theoretically, previewing would be interesting whenever an app wants to provide a view of a content item - that could be useful for chat, social messaging, mail, or download/transfer applications. However, I haven't done any detailed work into how this would look. One question in this area is whether applications would need to be able to change the UI controls for the preview. > Also, it would be good to list some of the things that you expect to > preview: documents, videos, music, images - anything else ? My understanding is that we would want to provide previews for as much common content as possible. Things like contacts or presentations could easily be added to the list. > Having > that list will help to get a sense for the interactivity that will be > required from the preview. ... The UI present today in Sushi is a good reference point, and I would expect similar controls to be provided by the new library. I have promised UI designs for this.
