Customized alert: "Asset too big"

[kaaaaathy]

Back to Save Alerts Phase I Redesign – Overview

Use case: Asset too big

We need a way to tell users:

• when an asset is too big
• when size causes save failure
• where the problem is
• what the limits are

Alert design

Clicking on "See Issue" navigates you to the issue in question.

"Ambient" messaging in Costume & Sound

This design lets the user know about the asset in question, what the size is, what the limit is— even when the alert is closed.

Note: We decided not to give troubleshooting tips in editor, because it's not a pattern we use for Help in Scratch, but also because there are many nuances that aren't easy to explain right.

Costume editor

Sound editor

Code editor is a bit different...

Because there is no easy way to articulate or trouble shoot the code project json, we won't have additional troubleshooting, and we won't have a button to navigate you to the problem.

• ENA-97: Provide feedback when a sound edit causes the sound to become too large  #4897 should be solved along with this to make trimming easier (if you trim and it's still over 10MB you can't actually trim and it doesn't show anything)
• perhaps mention lists or unused code as a common cause of the project json too big?
