Ruslan, I absolutely agree at the very least we need to warn the user before deleting the default profile icon. I also think we should either make the description uneditable in my files, or else make sure that profile icons are clearly displayed differently from ordinary files/images. Probably the former at this stage. I don't have a problem with the user being able to delete & move their profile icons around.
To address your other worries we just need to limit expectations that the 'profile pictures' folder contains all and only profile pictures. I suggested the folder to Eugene, but only as a way to stop automatically created files from cluttering up your root folder. There are some other examples, like 'view files' (created when you copy a view), and 'assessment files' (created when someone attaches a file to feedback on one of your views). So let's just give this folder a more neutral name, like 'Pictures', 'images', 'system', or something. Then people won't make the assumption that moving/uploading an image into that folder will automatically turn it into a profile icon. Rewriting the profile pictures page to work without js isn't super high priority at this time, so bug #637026 may have to wait a bit... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Core, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/605747 Title: Show profile icon files in My Files Status in Mahara ePortfolio: In Progress Bug description: Shouldn't the profile icon also sit in "My Files" (maybe in a predefined folder "profile icons")?
