again, this dialog performs 2 extrlemely expensive operations: * locking an activity, wich besides the long time needed to performs even involves moving files and unconnecting all of them from all other activities, so something that can't be fully backed at all (really no technical way to do it)
So what's so bad about performing the operation when the activity is switched to private? This doesn't make it more expensive. Besides, the user still has to enter a password before the switching is actually performed, so if he accidentally switched, he can still cancel the operation at that point.
* same dialog/workflow is for activity creation, so having no ok/cancel buttons means creating an activity as soon the + is pressed and then configure it, this is another expensive operation and quite long to back out as well (both creation or deletion on some hardware as vivaldi may take as long as a minute or so)
Announcement: Fania and me will soon present a new concept for Activity creation which will be different from editing existing activities (and, as Fania wrote, will use a wizard for Activity creation). Therefore, if our concept will be implemented, this point won't be valid anymore.
i still think the best way to still have buttons, have them always visible and taking less space is having them in the titlebar, like the ipad and the n9 do: http://www.silicon.com/i/s4/illo/photos/2010/June/iPad%20test/iPad%20VPN%20config%20screengrab.PNG
In general, when we need those buttons, I agree that moving them to the title bar makes sense.
I see now this thread split into three with overlapping content, that's not good. Hopefully we'll be able to merge the sub-threads again ;)
