[Gallery App/Content Hub] Expected to be able to select picture in a full screen preview mode before sending it

[Magdalena Mirowicz]

When testers tried to send picture via Gallery (event view) or Telegram or Messaging app, it was difficult for them to select the one they wanted to sent (especially when the pictures were similar). This is because the pictures were not displayed in full sizes, and there was no preview mode for them to check before committing to send.

UX Comment:

Sending images (and other media) is handled via the Content Hub, the previewing and selection of images is then handled by the App selected via the Content Hub (Gallery, File Manager, etc).

This does not fall within the scope of Media-Services - If a user attempts to send media via Messaging, Telegram or any other App they will first have to select an App from the Content Hub, at which point that Apps UI is used to preview/make a selections.

Additionally, the Gallery already currently supports full-screen preview prior to selection (tap an image in the Gallery, tap the 'tick' in the header to make the selection) or selection without previewing first (tap the check-box at the tope right of an image without first previewing).

This is addressed as part of the media framework design. Once it is implemented, it should resolve issues in the apps mentioned above.

I don't see how unity8 is involved here.
