images with no metadata cause a modal dialog warning from MobileFrontend. Images with meta data do not.
To circumvent this we used chunky_png - should this be a default in the Ruby gem? It would be nice to be able to use the shared upload code in MF.
See http://rdoc.info/gems/chunky_png/frames
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
also note that the shared image code is in the mediawiki_selenium gem https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fselenium/41d89d272c3bbf3192b7346cc2d4eb61e9aa2b5c/lib%2Fmediawiki_selenium%2Fstep_definitions%2Fupload_file_steps.rb
@Jdlrobson: can you give some background here and/or let me know if this is still needed?
This was needed back in the days we supported photo uploads. When uploading a photo without meta data an alert would show reminding the user that they should be uploading license free photos. If it had no meta data no confirm step would show. I wanted to write tests for both cases so was unable to.
Since MobileFrontend has this disabled now this is less of a priority but it may be useful for MediaViewer in some way.
It's not clear to me what this task is about. As for ChunkyPNG, it's useful for testing upload functionality (it's used in various UploadWizard tests), not so useful for MediaViewer, given that metadata extraction happens on the server side.
Should this task be closed?
@Jdlrobson: At the very least can we remove Web-Team-Backlog?
It sounds like this is no longer needed by anyone so sure. @greg feel free to close if it makes sense.
