I am a new GM going through the learning curve of beginning to use the FGU system.
I have run into a quirk in the UI for sharing images that seems a bit odd.
As a GM, I am test sharing images with players who have joined a cloud based session. When shared an image automatically opens fine on their interface, however, if they close the image window and go to the 'Images' list on the sidebar and try the 'Shared' Filter by sharing mode option it does not list any images during current session when the 'All' or 'Uncategorized' group is selected. However, if they choose the 'All' filter mode and look in the 'Uncategorized' group listing the shared images are then listed. If they turn on the 'Shared' filter again the listing(s) do not show.
Now, if a player leaves the session and the returns (Rejoins Campaign) the 'Shared' filter works appropriately whether looking in the 'All' or 'Uncategorized' group listings.
The thing is, if a new image in the newly returned to session is shared by the GM and the player closes the image window and then looks in the Image sidebar listing the same issue occurs only for the newly shared image. All of the shared images from the prior session are listed with the 'Shared' filter active. With the 'All' filter active the newly shared image is present and easily found in the 'Uncategorized' group listing. It is also listed in the 'All' group but may not seem so if the list is very long.
This problem does not occur on the GM interface and everything is instant and dynamic for either the 'All' or 'Uncategorized' group.
Lastly, if I as a GM I create a new group in the Images group listing, does that not propagate to the players. They seem to have all of the other groups that we all start with but GM manually added ones do not appear in the player interface in the current session nor a rejoined to session.
