I am scared to use the application at all because I literally have no idea what it will do.
The list of applications selected by ticks suggests that when I click the "perform selected tasks" button the applications selected will be removed. They are SELECTED. "Perform selected tasks" suggests that something will be done to the selected stuff - i.e. it will be removed. But when I go to deselect an application from the list (because some of the stuff on it is stuff I installed manually that I want to keep), I am asked to authenticate with the message "Removing Unused Packages Requires Authentication". This immediately confuses me. Indeed the wording suggests that DESELECTING an application will remove it. At this point I honestly have no idea (I'm not bullshitting you here - I literally cannot decide) whether it is the selected or delected applications that will be removed were I to click on the "Perform Selected Tasks" button. I reckon I have about a 50% chance of having it do the exact opposite of what I intend. And I'm not a computer illiterate. Not liking those odds I decided the safest thing to do was close the Janitor and not use it. And seek help of course from ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1775705 The problem is very real. From my point of view this application is completely ambiguous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486133 Title: What does "Do selected tasks" mean? -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
