1186695 - [Window Management] Picture and Video previews cannot be viewed landscape unless opened in a landscape-capable app

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System::Window Mgmt, defect)

Description

[Martin Shuman [:Marty]]

Attachment: logcat-preview-landscape.txt

Description:
If the user opens a picture or video media file in a preview window (opening from mms, bluetooth transfer notification, download manager, etc.) they will not be able to rotate the display of the picture or video to landscape unless they were in a landscape app (browser, gallery) at the time they opened it.

This means that if they receive or download a widescreen video, and try to open it from a notification when at the homescreen, they will not be able to rotate the phone to view the video in landscape, and must watch the video shrunk down with a lot of wasted screen space.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Aries to 20150722124026
2) Take a screenshot while at the homescreen
3) Tap the notification to open the image preview, then rotate the device to landscape orientation.

Actual:
Media preview windows cannot go landscape unless opened while in a landscape-capable app

Expected:
Media preview windows can be viewed landscape for picture and video files.

This behavior is user unfriendly. Suggest to fix in the latest branch.

Hi Tim, could you please help to take a look at this issue? Thank you.

Needs lots of work for little gain.

I thought we implemented this. We should do this in future releases.
