Show note to recipient on shares more prominent
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If a note on shared content is important, the actual way to display it as a small bubble on the top right is not sufficient. Most people opening the share link probably won't even notice it is there.
Describe the solution you'd like The note could be displayed in a way similar to the first run wizard. Ideally the user who shares the link can choose between the actual way (small bubble) and the forced display e.g. with a checkbox "force display".
A javascript popup window could appear once the page has loaded. This could be set as an option in the sharing options.
@jancborchardt why not use the same design as the readme header thing? :)
Yup, good point, that’s much more obvious and reusable. :) Let’s do that. :+1:
If someone points out where this has to be edited, this would be a nice good first issue.
The current note button/popover is registered here. It needs to be replaced with a plugin to the file list that registers a header section as done in the text app: https://github.com/nextcloud/text/blob/master/src/helpers/files.js#L158-L199
Rich workspace won't work here since the file would be the same readme.md for all shares while the note can be different on each share link.
5 years later a search took me here. None of the people I shared folders with ever noticed the tiny bubble. The documentation mentions the 'Notice to recipient' but provides no further description on where it should appear.
We need this for Upload-shares, for instructions like "pictures only, NO VIDEO". A README.md is no alternative. Millennials and Generation-Z don't open README's.
@willemb2 just have similar issue - even could not find the small bubble at all. looks this gets disabled in case hide download is checked. #46189
