Topic on Talk:Wikimedia mobile engineering/Mobile QA/Commons uploads

Using 0.14

1. Is there a list of features planned for the first release? Upload resuming? Video support?
2. Show the app version number on the start screen or somewhere
3. It should be more difficult to upload an image with the same name (and overwriting it). Warning message at the very least.. show image that will be overwritten.
4. Bug when copying the title. ex. filename is myphoto. When copying it, "myphoto title" is placed onto clipboard
5. On the main screen, the Upload button is on the left. On the image screen, the Upload button is on the right. Maybe move the Upload button in main screen to the right side for consistency? Just a thought
6. When uploading without an internet connection, I get this verbose and techical error message. . Also happens when I go from wifi to 3g. Maybe use more friendly error message.
7. In the Photo details screen, once I start typing and the keyboard pops up, I'd like to be able to hide the keyboard so that I can view the delete button and use it if needed. Currently, I need to go back to main menu and then back into the photo details for it and click delete.
8. Minor but maybe make the web browser viewer look more like Safari, Facebook's. (single arrow back, forward, refresh, action)
9. Bug? Open app with no internet connection. upload button on main screen is disabled. choose image to upload -> photo details. go back to main screen. upload button is enabled but still no internet connection.
10. Probably should have a warning if the user tries to enter a file extension in the title, or else the filename ends up like 'MyPhoto.jpg.jpg'
11. Is it possible to just upload one image? Everytime I try to upload just one new image, a previously queued image also begins uploading.
12. I found a few other odd things/bugs but I'm trying to find a way to reproduce them.

Thanks Mahanga! I'm reading though the questions and will reply soon.

A few quick notes. :D

1) We don't have a firm list of which features will hit the first app store release yet, but video won't be there yet. (We hope to add it later, after some server-side and legal issues are resolved.)

2) I'll add an about screen!

3) Agreed, we'll try and make it handle name conflicts more gracefully.

4) I'll check into that...

5) Yeah those button placements are not final, and I'll probably switch them to be more consistent.

6) Will try to improve the error messages yes.

7) Adding it to my list... not too hard to make it so tapping outside dismisses the keyboard.

8) Yeah I'll adjust the icons.

9) Yeah, upload button enabling needs fixes.

10) Oooh, good catch! I'll add to the list.

11) Currently starting the upload process starts pushing up all queued images, but I agree it could be nice to upload a single one. I'll probably change that in a future version, but no guarantees on timing.

12) Excellent, keep reporting issues. :)

I'm currently working on some server-side fixes for the mobile web team, but I should get another beta out this weekend or Monday.

Thanks Brion! I did find a couple other things but it looks like they've been reported or are variants of existing bugs (non-ASCII bugs, title/descr). I'll be ready to test the next version when it's out. :)

Great updates! I'll add some more comments in the same thread. Commons 0.18 and iPhone 5

1. Changing from LTE to Wifi or vice versa enables the Upload button on the main screen even when there are no files to be uploaded.
2. Keyboard doesn't hide when clicking away
3. Animated GIFs don't animate in the Detail screen? I understand not animating on the main screen, but the detail (or image view -- when clicking image in detail view) should, IMO.
4. Will category support be added for 1.0?

(Mahanga)

1. Switching networks does indeed sometimes enable the upload button when it shouldn't. We'll try to fix that. :)
2. Keyboard hiding should be fixed in the next update.
3. Animated GIFs are kind of a special case... I'm not sure how difficult it would be to support them directly in an iOS UIImageView, we might have to detect them and defer to a UIWebView which should animate them inside. :) Not a high priority but I'll file a bug so we don't forget it.
4. Categories won't make it into the first release, but should follow within a few weeks. It's already in the Android version.

Thanks for testing!
