Bug ID: 502619
Summary: Export/Copy As dialog: info about 100 bytes preview
limit easy to miss
Classification: Applications
Product: okteta
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kosse...@kde.org
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Problem:
Currently the information that the preview is only using the first 100 bytes is
hidden in a tooltip and found to be missed out by users.
Wanted:
the information should be more accessible/noticeable.
Some possible solutions:
a) if copying/exporting more than 100 bytes, show an inline message in the
preview, perhaps with timeout.
b) Change "Preview" label to e.g. "Truncated Preview" or similar
Actually initially the preview label indeed was "Preview (max. first 100
bytes)", but changed 15 years ago for what was considered "cleaner look" in
https://commits.kde.org/okteta/ccad66f4ffb301f50ba26b78f9d7c7d2175d76c7
c) show a checkbox/valuebox below the preview which enables to unlimit/change
the number of bytes used for preview
"[X] Limit to first 100 bytes", default to On.
Allows for people to manually copy the visible preview text instead, also
enable DnD of the generated format.
(perhaps DnD export should be offered by separate means/UI or some reworked
generic UI?)
(challenge: remember the choice for the next usage, might hurt if large byte
size used?)
