So specifically, you're talking about dropping: * Encryption toggle * Include/exclude * How long to keep backups * How often to back up I'm happy to have a discussion about what to do for each. > One question: I know that you had a discussion on the usability list > about renaming Deja Dup.

I'm not fully wedded to those, though I'm hesitant to remove all instances. I can think of a at least a couple reasons at least a one-time brand is useful: * Some branding (even only once) is useful here to reassure user it will read the backup data they made elsewhere. * The user can install it on non-GNOME and they need to know what app to search for. -mt _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
