Research direction

Start from the transcript widget in the video editor and reproduce each listed upload, download, language-selection, preview, and save-flow issue. Done means the dropdown is usable by typing, async operations show progress and prevent invalid saves, all imported languages appear, language and upload controls can be used independently, and downloads open as requested.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • Can't type in the language I want in the dropdown; I have to scroll all the way down to the language to select it.
  • No spinners shown while transcript uploads / downloads from Youtube are happening -- it just sits there looking like it's doing nothing.
    It also doesn't prevent me from clicking "Save", and so if an upload / replace / delete for a transcript fails, I don't know about it until I re-open the modal.
  • When I import transcripts from YouTube, only one of the imported transcripts (English) shows up in the preview widget.
    I have to save, and the re-edit to see all languages for the imported transcripts.
  • The "select a language then launch file upload control" behavior is non-intuitive, and may not be accessible either? I think these two components should split in two, so I can select my language / upload a file in whatever order I want to.
  • The "Download" transcript menu item tries to send me to a new page. It should open in a new window (which closes after the download completes).
