How Is the Files Pane supposed to work?

Eik

The process to choose a file after ‘/’ and choose drive file works for me. But the file Pane still does not work. Maybe something to do with cookies or caching? Or permissions on Google drive?

Jay OK I was trying to insert the file after existing text so the / command and + button were not accessible so was looking for it on the context menu.

As for the selected file appearing in the Files pane, one time it did after reloading, other times it has not. Don’t know what I did differently.

Jay

Ok, I will investigate some more.

Rihards

Jay no

Jay

Ok, I think it’s really fixed in the latest beta version.

It was trying to build up a folder structure because the Drive plugin used to be able to get all files in Drive, not just the ones you choose. So for some items in subfolders it didn’t have permissions to access the full folder structure, so it never showed those items. So now it will just load all items regardless of folder structure, and so you should be seeing every file you selected now.

It still seems to sometimes not update immediately after selecting a file, but it does after refreshing the page. I’ll fix that in the next update.

Jay

Ok and now in the latest update it appears to be updating immediately with the selected file.

Is it working better for you all now?

Eik

Jay It is working better, but now all files are shown even if I only selected one file. Also some files are shown twice. One time for the file in the folder and one time in the root as well. Is this how it supposed to work? I also do not want to see Legend Backups.

Jay

Thanks Eik, I’ll keep working on it. I’ll make it not show the backups and de-duplicate the files.

It is meant to show all files you’ve given access to, so it should populate on load with everything you’ve selected or uploaded, then when you select a new one, it adds to the list.

Jay

Ok, lots of updates to the Files pane in the latest version. All of those issues should now be fixed, and as an added bonus it caches its state offline so all files will be available on load 🙂.

How is it for you now? @Eik @Rihards @andrew

Rihards

Jay No changes, https://failiem.lv/u/m2kgqx3gx

Eik

Jay It is better, but when I open Google drive from the Files pane I still see files for the Legend Backup folder. Can these be hidden in the dialog? I never want to select those.

Eik

Jay Another thing. I opened the Files Pane, clicked on ‘Click here to choose more files’. Google Drive dialog comes up. I select ‘test2.txt’ and pressed ’select, ‘test2.txt’ is added to the Files pane, but now also another file is added as well ‘2020-2021 kijkje in de school groepen 1-2’. Strange, I did not select that file.

Eik

Jay Icon issue. When Google drive dialog is opened icon for png files is broken.

Jay

Rihards Oh, I see you’re in Moo.do. We’re in the middle of rebranding as Legend, but haven’t started notifying Moo.do users or auto-updating the app quite yet. We have some more details here: https://legendapp.com/blog/launch/

This fix is currently only in the beta version of Legend. So you can install the Legend app and then switch it to the beta version. We have details on how to do that here: https://forum.legendapp.com/d/10-how-to-use-the-beta-version

Or if you don’t want to deal with all that, I expect we will release this update to the main Moo.do app within the next couple of days. And then I think we will be sending everyone an email and auto-updating the Moo.do app to Legend within the next week or so.

Jay

Eik The Google Drive picker doesn’t support any kind of filtering of files so there’s no way to hide them 🙁

Eik I think you must have chosen that file another time or did you upload it using Legend? The pane does a full refresh after selecting a file, which includes any files Legend has permission to access.

Eik From what I can tell from searching around, it’s hitting a 403 Permission Denied error loading thumbnails on files that aren’t either public or Legend already has permissions to access. It’s a bug on Google’s end.

Other than those issues is it working well? If so, I’ll mark this solved 🙂

Eik

Jay No filtering in the Google Drive picker, so nothing you can do about that. When I select only one file in the Google Drive picker multiple files are automatically added sometimes in the pane. This issue is still there I think. How can I revoke access to a file?

Also, when I clear local data and restart Legend, the Files Pane is empty.

Jay

Eik Does the Files pane fill up after signing back in? Or is it permanently empty now?

Eik

Jay When close and open Legend the Files Pane is not showing the JPG and PNG files anymore:

Now I clear local data in settings and signing back in I get an empty Files Pane. Even after ‘Refresh Drive’ nothing is added.

Jay

Eik That blows my mind! I’m not sure how that’s even possible… But I’ll look into it some more.
