Useless and annoying »Wait a moment« modal

[jancborchardt]

This kind of supersedes https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues/187

For many actions such as removing there comes a modal with a spinner saying »Wait a moment«. It lasts as long as the action takes and you can’t do anything while it’s there.

This is incredibly annoying and makes everything take more time than it needs to. Instead of letting me wait out the time it needs to delete the file – just vanish the entry and do the deletion in the background (of course offering undo …). (And as I said, this also happens for other actions.)

The model is exactly there to avoid the user does nothing on the while.

Yes, would be great do it the way you suggest. And it requires so many changes at this moment that my head can't imagine.

From the point of view of code, maybe this is easier after the changes to allow uploads while offline.

Ok, sorry, this time I was exagerating. Probably not so hard to do if we just block the affected file.

Anyway... to the backlog.

Still very annoying when deleting a file:

Instead of doing that, the file should just get deleted in the background. If offline, queued for deletion.

This notification is all over the place, and as said before really ugly.

Also with the new sharing dialog. Would be really good if we can please not introduce it in any more places, and use more contextual loading feedback like inline spinners.
