Description Nicolas Christener 2019-02-26 07:42:20 UTC
Description:
Starting a larger presentation (in my case around 4MB) takes quite a while on an iPad and the user does not get a loading indicator.

In my case it takes 12 seconds until the presentation starts - this is too long for a user and should be imprved.

While it would be good to speed up the loading itself, I think a loading indicator would already improve the situation quite a bit. So maybe show a gray overlay with a spinning circle so the user knows, something is happening.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached slide deck
2. Start presentation mode

Actual Results:
It takes approx 12s (on my 2018 iPad) to initially load the presentation and during loading no indicator, that something is happening is shown.

Expected Results:
Either loading should be more or less instantly or a loading indicator should show some activity so the user knows the app is working on something.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

This video shows the loading of a larger presentation and especially the delay until something actually happens. A loading indicator would probably improve the situation quite a bit.

"normal" file, not a tempalte

Templates can't be opened in the iOS app (yet)

The example file I provided today loads in 1~2s - which is perfectly acceptable.

Maybe bigger presentations will still load slow and thus the issue maybe still needs to be open.

I'll try to find a bigger presentation and try that too. Will report back.
Comment 7 Nicolas Christener 2021-03-24 12:55:16 UTC
I tested a presentation of 84MB - the file itself loads fast and switching to presentation mode still takes about 5~7s.

This is not too bad; but I still believe, showing an animation which indicated that the app is working, would be a good thing.
