oAuth - slack - why only a few channels being returned?

Hi all,

Trying out the oAuth slack example. The oAuth login window allows you to choose the slack channel to post to - but only a tiny subset of my channels are being listed to choose from (e.g. our users & slack apps, and about three channels, and I probably have 50 or more...). Does anyone know why that might be?

Ah, now I understand, I have to type the channel name in the search box: the popup dialog that pops up immediately is only showing a very weird preview selection. I don't know how it chooses which channels to display (perhaps they are the most recently created ones).

Anyway, mark this issue resolved :-)
