App title in the first page of the galery app. [papercut]

Design
#1

REPRODUCIBILITY (% or how often): 100%
BUILD ID = OS VERSION (Settings > About product): All
HARDWARE (Jolla1, Tablet, XA2,…): All
UI LANGUAGE: QML
REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): No.

DESCRIPTION:

The Galery app doesn’t have a title on the top right corner as all (or most SFOS) apps.

PRECONDITIONS:

None

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Just open the Galery and compare it to another app ie Documents

EXPECTED RESULT:

Have a title (Gallery or something like Contents) on the top right of the app.

ACTUAL RESULT:

No title

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Its a consistency thing mainly. And it needs a longer reach with the thumb if you want to go to your photos. Probably super easy to fix.

Yes.
But also neither does Notes, nor Calculator Calendar or Messages has this (whereas Mail or Media again have).
So consistency is one thing. But handy it would be esp. on larger devices like starting from XA2 on :wink:

More a design flaw? Should we move to Design category?

Not a problem on Jolla1, assuming I understand you correctly, but Photos, Videos and Screenshots in Gallery certainly do have a Page Header.

In some cases it’s probably not that necessary (ie calculator).

As for category i was split on where to post it (bug or design) but decided bugs cause its something missing than a suggestion or a change. And probably they will see it here.

@Edz in the main page i mean.

#5

As in the very first page we see after clicking the Gallery launcher icon?

A picture paints a thousand words… :wink:

#6

Yes that. Top right corner would be nice to have a title (Gallery)

#8

This is easily patched. I know patching isn’t the answer to all questions here, but I guess that depends on how desperate one is to see such things changed.

If anyone is interested and the fact I can’t be bothered with patchmanager for now, I’ll stick the code here;

        header: PageHeader {
        title: qsTrId("gallery-ap-name")
    }

I added it into Line 192 of;

/usr/share/jolla-gallery/pages/GalleryStartPage.qml

so it looks like this;

SilicaListView {
    id: view
    objectName: "albumsView"
    anchors.fill: parent
    header: PageHeader {
        title: qsTrId("gallery-ap-name")
    }
    delegate: delegate
    model: MediaSourceModel {
        MediaSource {

Just a thought, seeing as jolla-clock(Clock) and jolla-settings(Settings) now use a sliding view tabs (not sure what the module is called), I wonder if Gallery will go the same way, possibly removing DropBox and such views/apps inside Gallery, leaving just photos/videos & screenshots = 3 tabs, just like clock and settings.

@jovirkku can we get this so easily fixed papercut fixed? (and in all jolla apps that need it)

#11

and here we are almost ONE YEAR LATER and still no reply!..how about it @jovirkku ?

Not exactly a priority, but this is what is wrong with this whole project…doing it together?, don’t make me laugh. The slogan should be “Doing What We See Fit And You Can All Talk Among Yourselves, We Don’t Care About You Or Your Ideas”

I guess this is not an idea Jolla cares for…more to the point though; WHO and WHAT IS Jolla these days?, other than a sinking ship, it seems.

To be fair they fixed the dreadful camera app UI. So its not like they don’t do anything. Its just that it takes them waaaayyy more time.

Many of the papercuts and consistency issues would have been fixed if patches from the community were more easily accepted.

#13

I think they’re much more reactive if you bring the question at a community meeting.

#14

Then what is the point of this forum?

#15

Its for bugs and discussion. On the meetings its more about answering questions.

#16

Rhetoric @ApB, rhetoric.

#17

Well I agree with you at certain points. They have unfortunately to less time to following each thread and each post. Look what happened with the bug reports.
