I'd like to request that people stop sending posts about web intents to public-webapps@w3.org and public-device-a...@w3.org The new list exists and should be used: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-intents/2011Nov/ On 11/18/11, Charles Pritchard wrote: > On 11/18/11 10:29 AM, Paul

Since we don't have background intents (many reasons why, though we looked into the idea), the service is responsible for displaying progress UI for this use case. For example imagine the service is Dropbox: the client initiates the upload action and Dropbox is selected as the service by the user.

I may be misunderstanding things, but I was thinking that saving a file to the cloud. FileSaver and XHR have onprogress events so users don't wonder too-much about large file uploads. Those are the only cases I was thinking of. -Charles On 11/15/2011 10:31 AM, James Hawkins wrote: A bit of

So, to make things difficult again -- how do we monitor progress? When I'm saving to the cloud, I want my XHR onprogress. I don't need high-fidelity progress events -- they don't even make sense when one server is copying to another, but I do need something, otherwise we're back in the dark ages

On the subject of FileSaver, specifically window.saveAs, I have demos that show use of "http://webintents.org/save"; intent which fits work very well and it would be up to the UA to decide if they want to offer an interface for access to the local fileSystem. So it could either be a cloud or local
