Suggested Change for Import Functionality

Open shannona opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Writing the manual, it was a bit of a struggle to describe the way the import functions were divided. That might mean users will struggle too.

I would suggest moving the "Paste" out of the "QR" menu, so that "QR" is all ways to import QR codes (Camera, file, photo roll) and the add is all ways to import text.

I think it might also be useful to separate create and add to two different menus, but I'm less certain on that.

It might make more sense to change the "QR Viewfinder" icon to be a more generic "Input" icon.

@shannona re-review?

I still feel like there's an uncomfortable division here.

"+" Add Seed allows you to type or paste text for a variety of formats. Scan allows you to scan, paste, choose from files, choose from photos, or choose from NFC tag.

The one is automated and the other is manual, but I don't think that's sufficient. I'd suggest just putting an extra button on the Scan page which is "Type" or "Keyboard" or some such.

The various ways of importing seeds should be consolidated, with the methods for creating new seeds from scratch via entropy clearly delineated from the means of bringing in existing seeds. Needs a milestone.

Sounds great, so you should milestone this, @ChristopherA and then we can close the Issue.

I suggest after this release that @wolfmcnally write up his thoughts on what changes this feature involves, and if any are dependent or separable from each other, as new issue(s) and close this one.
