Possible ways to show nsswitch filename
Okay, so it sounds like the GUI logic is:
if only one service checked
if nameservices-config-file = default for this service
show (None) in file selection button, and disable Default button
else
show config filename in file selection button, and enable Default button
else
show config filename in file selection button, and disable Default button
Re the label for the Default button name, yes, I'd thought about "Use Default"
too, but initially discounted it. After sleeping on it, I agree it might
actually be the best option.
Have attached a mockup of how we might show the filename. I think it's probably
more useful to show something slightly different for each of the three
scenarios:
* One service, default config file in use: show full pathname to default config
file
* One service, custom config file in use: show full pathname to the default
file that will be selected if you click the Use Default button. (We could
perhaps show full pathname to custom file as well, but since you can also get
this by clicking the file selection button, I'm not sure if it would be more
confusing than helpful.)
* Multiple services: Not sure we really need to show anything at all. (Again,
we could show full pathname to the custom file. If we do that for previous
case, should probably do it for this one too.)
I have the feeling we could find some better wording for the first two cases...
the 'in use/not in use' wording seems clunky.
