Description Allan Day 2014-09-12 09:07:45 UTC
When you don't have any favorites, the favorites view shows a message: "No Favorites Found"

It's a bit negative, and isn't very helpful - it doesn't provide a clue about how to add favorites. Maybe something like this would be better?

"Starred photos will appear here"

You could use a star icon instead of the photo mimetype one, too.

Review of attachment 288337 [details] [review]:

Looks good to me. I would tweak the commit message a bit, though. eg., it is preferable to start it with "Change" instead of "Changed".

The screenshot looks good, and is an improvement.

I was hoping that Andreas's initial states designs [1, 2] would reach a state where we could use them as a template for the layout here. Unfortunately, they haven't progressed all that much, although I do plan to make sure that the work keeps moving.

That leaves us with two options - land this patch now, and revisit in the future if necessary, or wait for the initial states designs to mature. I'd be happy with either.

Thanks for staying on top of this, Allan.

Let's land it. If Andreas doesn't get time to work on them before 3.16, we will at least have this improvement.
