Description

On another note, looking at DownloadFileProgressHUDViewController, I generally wonder if we still need it at all, since:

  • we now have inline progress reporting/cancellation (DownloadFileProgressHUDViewController predates that)
  • the user can't do anything else while a file downloads for opening
Steps to reproduce
  1. Touch on More Dots on a file which is currently not downloaded
  2. Select Open in...
Expected behaviour

Open in Sheet is displayed after download finished

Actual behaviour

UI is blocked by download progress UI

Client

iOS version:
iOS 12.2

ownCloud app version:
1.0.0. Build 113

Research direction

Start by inspecting DownloadFileProgressHUDViewController and the More Dots > Open in flow described in the issue. Determine whether the existing inline progress and cancellation behavior makes this controller unnecessary. Done means the Open in sheet appears after the download finishes without blocking the UI with the legacy download progress view.
