Currently the Media Library's file upload widget always uses a throbber. It would be nice to show a progress meter when possible, to improve the experience when uploading large media files.

How to test

  • Enable Media and Media Library
  • Add a Media field to Article content type so a file can be uploaded (e.g. Image and/or Document and/or Video)
  • Add new Article content
  • For your Media field, click "Add media" button
  • Click "Choose File" button for whatever type of file you are adding
  • Choose a file
  • Note the progress indicator

  • Needs screenshots

    The change alters the user interface, so before and after screenshots should be added to document the UI change. Make sure to capture the relevant region only. Use a tool such as Aviary on Windows or Skitch on Mac OS X.

  • Needs usability review

    Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.

  • Needs tests

    The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.

    This issue is being reviewed by the kind folks in Slack, #needs-review-queue-initiative. We are working to keep the size of Needs Review queue [2700+ issues] to around 400 (1 month or less), following Review a patch or merge request as a guide.

    This could use test coverage (most likely FunctionalJavascript)
    Also as UX change this will need screenshots in the IS + usability review.

    Thanks.
