Option to view photo before uploading it to new note.

[j13m126]

Hello there. I've been using StreetComplete a lot in the Christmas Holidays answering questions and adding notes. I really enjoy using it, thank you!!

So I was walking through the neighborhood looking for doctor's offices that haven't been added yet to osm. Due to the cold temperatures I thought I could create a note adding a photo of the door with the street address and the practice sign (like this), so that me or others could then add it. As you can see, I sometimes uploaded a blurry photo, which is really annoying.

Proposed Solution
Therfore I would like to request the option to view the photo before uploading it to a note. I always tried to get the street address and the practice sign on one photo (for verification purposes), but I could'nt make sure that the text was readable.
I think this option would also benefit other scenarios..

It may be controlled by system - on my phone after taking a photo I have it displayed at a full screen preview and I can

(1) accept photo
(2) reject and retry
(3) go back without taking photo

not sure is it something that can be controlled by StreetComplete

(I have an unmodified clean Android 10, just degooglified a bit)

Oh, you are right. I previously had LineageOs installed. After flashing PixelExperience I now have the same options as you described above. My bad, I didn't think of that. Thank you!

Sounds like OS-level issue not solvable by SC (in theory maybe SC could reimplement photo taking but this would be ridiculous)

What might be done is after the picture is taken, it is added to the list of pictures below note text, where you can click on it to remove it.

What I would suggest is when picture is clicked, instead of asking to remove it we show it full screen in size what is going to be uploaded to the servers (allowing for zoom in/out) and then have a button there to remove picture.

That would solve two problems:

• picture review on older android versions
• actually seeing what is going to be uploaded and if it is readable (as I believe picture gets reduced in size/quality before upload). It so happens that sometimes picture is readable on mobile (or looks like it should be, as zoom does not work when accepting pictures in SC on my phone) but when the result is uploaded letters are too blurry.

Certainly a valid feature request, but very low priority. PR is welcome
