✨ Nextcloud 17 polishing list!

[jancborchardt]

As usual, we test the daily zip file to find details for polishing. 🎉

Everyone should go over the issues and see where they can help out! 😊 Add your handle if you work on it, or relevant issues or pull requests.

Bold issues are especially important and should be fixed for the release!

🏗 Pre-installation

• Zip file is huge!
  • Because of .map files? – they are not that big
  • viewer ships cypress (36.4MB): Should be removed in tomorrows daily
  • 3rdparty/aws/aws-sdk-php/src/data possibly not necessary (12.2MB) too risky, might be in use
• Change name of "Nextcloud.mp4" to "Nextcloud intro.mp4" to fix the strange Viewer issue which accomodates for iOS live images → pull request at Rename video to fix live image clash example-files#5

👩‍🏭 Installation

• Finish button not visible on some screens – possibly sticky, or make warning wider
• Missing loading feedback on installation, should have a spinner – it’s there, Safari just stops rendering
• Security warning is not greyed out
• Whitescreen on installation, no feedback was caused by fatal PHP error caused by the support app interface, fixed by @juliushaertl

🧙 First run wizard

• First run wizard should have different viewer background opacity (less dark) @juliushaertl
• Scrollbar shows @juliushaertl
• Content should fit into box @juliushaertl
• Container shouldn’t need to resize between slides, adjust content, fix height and width @juliushaertl
• Button style difference too harsh, prev button should have slight white-ish background

📁 Files

• Non default views: First entry is overlapped by header Fix filelist overlap with header ref #16076 #16366
• When switching views and back to "All files" again, the upload bar x shows Stop button on the "All file" page #16137
• If settings menu (bottom left) is open, show a border-top
• In all views except "All files": Border around folder/files icons, should only be around images with preview Border around mime icon in file list #14849
• Breadcrumbs ellipsis menu needs max-width and ellipsis of entries
• In the "Shared" view and in "Recent", favorites indicator is not shown
• Range selection with shift does not work
• When all are checked, don’t show "Select file ranges"
• Think about moving "Share current folder" icon out of breadcrumb but to the right
• File list moving 1px vertically on select all (top border?) Fix 1px jump when selecting multi table entries #16475
• Action menu shadow broken in Safari @nextcloud/mac

🍔 Sidebar

• Share link should not open menu automatically
• Copy link directly when sharing with tooltip feedback "Share created & link copied"
• ~Share link flow revisit → 18~

🖼 Viewer

• Background color issue with Slideshow button
• Possibly make the sidebar dark in picture viewer mode (not in Text app though)

🏷 Tags

• If there’s tags, show autocomplete dropdown directly on opening the "Tags" section. That is, autofocus the field so the dropdown shows.

⚡ Activity

• .mp4 filetype uses non-existing "video-mp4.svg" as mimetype icon, but we only have "video.svg" and should use that Only return link to themed icon if file exists #16095
• Activity settings: Instead of "Stream" use setting for "Push notifications". Use icons for Mail and Phone. Just show everything in stream. 2-4 weeks task
• If Calendar app is not installed, show "Install Calendar app" with link to apps mgmt in emptycontent view of "Calendar" in Activity stream

It’s been a few months since the polishing review and most of the issues were fixed. :) So as per usual, we’re going to close the issue and open a new one at the next polishing review.

For any leftover issues which you think should be fixed, please open a separate issue or – even better – a pull request to fix them. 🎉
