Asset Send System

Assets are user-generated or user-added content. For asset sending, these types are supported:

1. Text — Chat entry
2. Photo — Camera snapshot
3. Video — Cam recording
4. Voice — Opus voice recording
5. Face — Emoticon image (built into application)

Host Types

1. Chat Room
2. Group
3. Random Connect

Chat Room Asset Send

Chat room sending is a special case:

1. Users send assets only to host admin — the host then distributes to all members
2. Host admin can send to an individual user or to all members
3. Voice and Video assets are not allowed to avoid large storage requirements on chat room host

Group and Random Connect Asset Send

Group and Random Connect hosts work identically:

1. Users can send to an individual member or to all members
2. Host admin can send to an individual member or all members

Multi-Member Send Behavior

When sending to multiple members, sends are performed sequentially to avoid network congestion:

1. Set member's name in progress bar text
2. Show send progress if transfer requires multiple packets
3. If user clicks the member's avatar in the avatar bar → send is canceled and a canceled icon is displayed
4. If an error occurs during send → it is recorded and the next send starts
5. If all sends succeed → the avatar icon is shown
6. If any sends fail → the fail icon is shown
7. Clicking a fail icon allows the user to view status and/or retry

GUI Management

Management of the GUI side of sending assets is handled by AssetSendMgr
