Current behaviour

  1. Start a long import or export (for example, by importing a directory with many thousands of files)
  2. Open settings (tools > options)
  3. Close settings
  4. Observe that the "Importing" or "exporting" screen is no longer visible

Expected behaviour

Either:

  1. There should be a way to dismiss the "Importing"/"Exporting" screens without going to settings (e.g. an "×" button) to indicate that this is intended behavior, or
    • Edit: This would also likely require adding logic to indicate that an export/import is running in the background even if the screen is dismissed. Such a UI change would likely need to be discussed on the forum.
  2. The "Importing" or "Exporting" screen should remain visible while an import or export is in progress.

Fix laurent22#9879: unexpected behavior between importing/exporting s…
e97cf31 
…creens and opening settings.

This issue implies that during the process of Importing and Exporting, opening and closing the settings screen closes the previous display that appears during those actions.
That happens because the importing screen is a Modal, which means it appears over the main screen, making the setting screen go to the main screen when the back button is pressed and not the previously appearing modal. For that, I choose the following solution:
- a close button is added to show that the import and export processes are processes that happen on the back, and the users can continue using the app. This is an expected behavior that is intuitive and saves time for the user, increasing user experience.
I fixed this issue by adding a button that goes with the style of the app:
- adding a button with a clicked-based function to close the modal on showModalMessage.tsx;
- styling on main.scss based on the previous implementation.
