I think suggesting "hey you might like to try Ubuntu One" is quite helpful, as is pointing out when something might be expected to be synced but isn't. But the current state is very off-putting, and I think it will incline users to deinstall ubuntuone-client to get rid of it, rather than encouraging them to try it.
This banner currently appears on all directories, even those that would be highly inappropriate or dangerous to sync, such as ~, /home, /, etc. You probably don't want to accidentally sync dot files or databases or .bzr directories. There's only one button "enable" so people who don't deinstall are likely to click that in the hope it will go away and that may cause trouble. It might be good if there was a 'close' button as appears in banners like this in chromium and firefox. If I've decided I really don't want to sync a particular directory I shouldn't be nagged about it. On the other hand if I am syncing a particular directory, I think Ubuntu One should just work without being intrusive. An activity indicator or per-film emblems would be enough to assure me it's working. -- ubuntu one disabled notice in every nautilus window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
