1. MoOde > Customize > Background Image > Choose
First Chrome asks to record picture and sound, then reports "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped", twice, and then drops out to a white page with a whirly that doesn't stop.

2. MoOde is only about 30% functional in the Firefox beta on Android.

Your browsers have to ask for permission to access the media folders for this exercise because of the Android security model. Respond "ok". 

Don't know why your Chrome stopped. I'm using Chrome 66 on a Nexus 9 tablet running Android 7.1.1 and on a Nexus 6P phone running Android 8.1. I'm not having difficulties. I wonder if there was an issue with the image you chose? I don't remember how big the jpg image can be.

As for Firefox 59.0.2, I have that on my Nexus devices as well (Opera too, for that matter). It appears to me to be fully functional with moOde although I can't claim to have exercised every path through the UI. In what way is yours dysfunctional?

Kent

OK Kent, I have found the problem, it is not how big, but how small... It was a brand new tablet and the image directory was empty. After I took a couple of screen shots to demo the problem the command succeeded because the screen shots were there and the directory was no longer empty. The bottom line is that the find-a-background-image routine hangs if it finds an empty directory.

I'll take up the Firefox stuff next.

Hi Kent,

In the interim Firefox updated to version 60 and MoOde runs much better on it now. The main problem now is the the touch interface seems flakey. For example, on a set up screen tapping an 'i' for information work as expected in Chrome, with one tap opening the dialog and another tap closing it. On Firefox one tap somtimes opens the dialog and the next tap rarely closes it. This problem of flakey tapping seems to pervade the Firefox interface. For example, play/pause can require any number of taps to change moOde's state and sometimes just won't change it at all.

This sort of thing doesn't lend itself to screen shots, though I guess I could video it if that would help.

Best,

      John
