A quick not on next steps"
In case '[EPIC] Promote usage of "print->pdf" an article on mobile'[1]
isn't planned to be deployed sometime soon how about considering some kind of temporary and helpful "quick fix"?
It could be something like filling the blank spaces of unloaded images with some helpful text that act as links. The helpful text might be something like, "Click here to see <unloaded> image", for example. The user could be taken to taken to the location of the image file when he taps the text. I'm suggesting this believing that it would be possible to identify the unloaded images.
I guess this doesn't require much work and could be a "quick fix". This is not required if [1] is being planned to be deployed "soon".
Relatively "soon". We're planning on tackling this in the next three months. If we consider some time for testing, etc, it should be out within 4-5 months from now. Since the print to PDF functionality from the browser doesn't have heavy usage, we weren't planning on doing a quick fix in the meantime, but I like the idea of having a general warning or text that lets the user know why images are not appearing.
Once again, thanks for the feedback!
