Fedilab Apps
We fixed reports about accessibility with the app. Thank you for taking the time to describe these issues.
We will now improve UX with media in timelines. If you have ideas to share, they are welcome :) #Fedilab

@apps I don't know if that's been fixed already, but I noticed that exceptionally long image descriptions are cropped from view and only the final portion is displayed.

Bookmarked. We will check that.

Thanks. A small / big thing: will you be able to increase the space for follow counts, so that they can be read when larger text sizes are used please?

I don't know if this fits here, but for me it is still not possible to download pictures. For videos, on the other hand, it works fine.
This has already been reported in the Codeberg Issue Tracker: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/720
Error when attempting to use the download/save and share buttons in the video player

Tapping the download/save or share button in the video player causes a toast error message stating "Oops ! An error occurred!" (It's worth noting that there shouldn't be a space before the !) The same buttons work correctly when viewing an image instead of a video. ## Steps for reproducing the issue <!-- Step, to reproduce it --> 1. Tap on a video 2. Try to use the download /save button or the share button --- <!-- The instance you are using --> Instance: <!-- Your social network --> <!-- Put a x between brackets like: - [x] Mastodon --> - [X] Mastodon - [ ] Pleroma - [ ] Friendica - [ ] Pixelfed <!-- If you know the version of Fedilab that you are using (can be found in about page) --> Version of Fedilab: 3.13.3 <!-- Your Android version --> Android version: 12 <!-- If you read our contributing advice --> [X] - I read the [contributing page](https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

It's fixed in 3.17.0

Thanks for letting me know. Will report back when it is available on F-Droid.

While reading the commit history I found that the problem was Fedilab not actively asking for write permission to the external storage. I granted it manually and now it also works with 3.16.2.

Fedilab 3.17.0 now requests permission to write to external storage for media download if it has not already been granted.
Thank you for taking care of this!

@apps

I don't know how best to explain it.
If you scroll down in the timeline for a long time, it may be that you can not load anything more. Especially occurs if you have activated the use cache in the settings. At the latest after a few days. Button for loading is no longer available.

It would be handy if you didn't have to press the button at all.

Sorry for the bad English. Translated with MS Translator (SwiftKey)

@apps the thing that I really enjoyed about the Twitter 3rd party app flamingo (rip) is the tap and hold on an image or video to quickly get a full screen view of that media. No need to tap and "go back". It sounds weird and barely more useful than the normal way, but it was really nice

But currently with a simple tap you get them in fullscreen. For closing both need a tap? Or maybe I didn't get it.

Is what I'm saying, it doesn't make sense, but holding your finger on a media to quickly full-screen it for a quick glance feels so nice because once you're done looking, you can just let go and go back to what you were doing instead of hitting "back". It feels much more seamless. I really think it's something you have to experience rather than have it explained to you to understand why it's so great. The main reason I loved Flamingo.

Ah ok got it. But currently the long click on media is already used. That would need an option.

What does it do? I can feel it vibrating on hold but doesn't seem to do anything. Also it was just an idea of something that I really appreciated in another app. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Just throwing my 2 cents in here

The idea is interesting. It just needs and extra work :)
