Reply to progress bar copying to iOS / iPadOS
Four months later in 7/23/2022 and I'm a first time ipad air gen5 owner and found this OS a bit of a UX fail. All these terms are confusing as they don't do what the words suggest, e.g. Share, Export, Import, (lack of "download"), Save to image, Save to video, copy, a box logo with an up arrow (is it export? Share? Upload? FTW). So I connected to a SD card reader via USB, Save video, and nothing happens on the screen except my card reader has an LED read blinker to indicate it's reading, so I won't disconnect until I see the blinker stop. Is that the solution Apple? Sometimes while it's "Copying" it's freezes the whole OS. When I chose "Save Image/Save Video", it doesn't specify target folder. I went into file app to locate it, no where to be found. Until later I realized, you need to open Photo app to see that it's saved under this app in a obfuscated folder location only accessible by Photo App, or third party app that expects video uploads under this mysterious Photo app location, for one, youtube app on ipad is doing that. So, without even understanding how it works, first time trying to upload a video from youtube app, there's no video to be found, no way to access "On My Ipad" folder. As you know by now, I'm not an iphone user, and I later found out that was how iphone folder/OS structure is like, you snapped a video, it's under photo app, only photo app can access it. Here's more confusion, some other third party apps aren't smart enough to care about the photo app secret folder location, e.g. VLC app on ipad can't even play the video I "saved video" because it can't find it, and it can only open "On your Ipad" location. Over all, it just seems that this whole product line is half baked, hardware wise is impressive, the OS and UX is dumb as ******. Sorry, I vented, but I'm trying to add to the users voice here so apple deverlopers/managers can prioritize their tasks. Otherwise, if the competitor hardware is more superior, I'm gone. And eff your icloud default settings and backup out of space annoying notification. Also I forgot to mention, "Delete" option under File app has no confirmation modal. The moment you tap delete, it's gone. What if I accidentally tap delete? Even Recently deleted can't recover a USB device "delete".
