Public bug reported: 1) Add contact. 2) Touch '+' to add a picture. 3) Select a data source (gallery, camera, file manager, etc). 4) Slow swipe from right to show all running apps windows. 5) Observe an app window that has a spinner on a white dialog background with text "Transfer in progress" along with a cancel button.
Presumably (5) is somehow connecting the address book and the data source (file manager say), like an Android Intent, but do we really need to see this app window? The answer currently seems to be "sometimes": - If I select gallery as the data source in (3) the top of the gallery window shows a cross which, if clicked, closes both gallery *and* the "Transfer in progress" window. So for gallery, the "Transfer in progress" seems entirely redundant. - If I select file manager as the data source in (3) the top of the file manager window does not show a cross so the way to abort the "attach image to new contact" operation seems to be to click cancel on the "Transfer in progress" window (or just close the file manager). The above suggests that all the data sources should support the interface that the gallery seems to. That way, this confusing Transfer window can die. ** Affects: address-book-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: avengers ** Summary changed: - adding image creates a confusing "transfer in progress" app + adding image creates a confusing "transfer in progress" window -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368851 Title: adding image creates a confusing "transfer in progress" window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/address-book-app/+bug/1368851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
