Remove annotation function design change - next gen?

Feature Requests

I am looking over this and need to confirm if this is a request for a change in functionality or, equally likely, I was not clear in design requirements. This seems like a bug, more than a feature request. Lemme get it sorted and I’ll follow up by next week about how we’re gonna handle it.

Okay, I have answers! And sooner than expected (although poor Jason had a slog of a time getting me to understand).

We have a couple of different things that people should be able to do easily, and what you’re asking for and what is in the product are two different tools.

Here’s the use cases we know of (please comment with more if you know of them!):

  • remove mediaAsset - wrong picture, get rid of everything
  • reset mediaAsset - go back to just the image and the trivial annotation, no detection annotations
  • remove annotation - this annotation is wrong, but other annotations in the encounter are legit
  • redraw annotation - I need an annotation that is close to this, but better
  • edit annotation - the annotation is correct but the metadata (viewpoint for example) is wrong
  • remove encounter - this is not a valid encounter

We have accurately supported “remove annotation”. This is an important tool if someone has several pictures of a single encounter (very common in whales) and one annotation is wrong (that’s a buoy, not a whale" kind of thing).
We have not supported “redraw annotation”, which is what you’re looking.

This is something that will wait until nextgen, unfortunately. We want to make sure the full toolkit is available and understandable, though, so please comment with anything about language improvements, UX ideas, etc.
