Cancel button & Progress Bar for pending uploads

[sunjam]

While creating a feature request for supported image formats to add to NextNote, I noticed that NextNote does not give any visual feedback to a user uploading larger files of a few megabytes+ into a note. Example: uploading a 20mb m4a video file + 40mb psd file completely crashed Firefox on MacOS after several minutes of waiting, plus I could not open Activity Manager app in order to Force Quit the browser itself... instead I cold rebooted the entire computer. A spinning wheel of death/thinking cursor took over and there was nothing I could do to end the upload.

A cancel button/keyboard shortcut, ideally the Exit key + a 2nd pane item showing current status of the note, would be much appreciated.

• If a format is unsupported, perhaps the file could be uploaded directly to the Nextcloud server in a specific attachment folder + a local url link added to NextNote. Adding items directly to NextNote appears to be notably slower/more difficult than adding to Nextcloud server itself via webdav.

Embedding via a url is something i try to avoid. What if the file is deleted / moved / edited?

Doubt i will ever support such large files. You can link to them, but embedding them as a base64 string, yea, that would kill even NASA's pc's.
I think we should limit the max filesize, to eg 5 or 10 mb.

Curious how you will handle imported Evernote notes, since they could be up to 200mb each. Integrated Google Drive file links, which become fully indexed, have no size limit at all. Haven't tried it yet, but I've attached plenty of large files that hit max size.

Also, added both of these files to a new note in Evernote on iOS. They displayed locally instantly (or within a second or two) then only took a certain number of seconds to upload to the Evernote Cloud. Perhaps it is do-able!

Tested a 5.4 MB picture yesterday and it crashed.
