share bar finetuning
@matthiasc
Submitted by Matthias Clasen Link to original bug (#602951)
Description
Previously reported here:
- Currently the share bar doesn't differentiate between enabled and disabled. Imo, the messages should be slightly different. If sharing is disabled, the message should be as it is currently:
"You can share files from this folder..."
But if sharing is enabled, the message should be something like:
"Files in this folder are shared..."
And you had some concerns:
We can't fix the second part. It's easy if you have 3 different folders for ObexPush, ObexFTP and DAVS sharing. But it gets more complicated when you need to tell the user that: You can share files from this folder using HTTP, this folder is already shared using ObexFTP over Bluetooth.
And what do we show when the public directory is the same as the downloads directory? Ideas welcome, in a separate bug...
Here are some ideas:
-
I don't think details about the individual transports need to be shown in the share bar message.
-
If sharing is disabled, you want to tell the user that it can be turned on, mostly:
You can receive files from other users in this folder [ Launch Preferences ]
You can share files from this folder with other users [ Launch Preferences ]
seem both fine to me.
- If sharing is enabled, we need to tell users that the files they see in Public can be seen by others.
Files received from other users will be placed here [ Launch Preferences ] Files in this folder are visible to others [ Launch Preferences ]
