Could this behavior be an option in a preference menu? I, personally, don't think that this mount/unmount method (ala iDisk) is particularly intuitive. I'm not mounting a remote disk, and so, it shouldn't behave as though I was. I don't see how this way is "better".
Keep it simple. -----Original Message----- From: Forrest Sheng Bao <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ubuntuone-users] Drag-and-drop from Ubuntu One folder Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:31:18 -0500 I think, in one word, things should be as easy as iDisk on Mac OS X. In iDisk, Mac OS X treats your folder on MobileMe remote server as a disk and makes you access remote files like you access files on local harddrive. I think NFS also made this years ago. This is a must-have of Ubuntu One. If one thing is not convinient and intuitive to do, users will give up your products.

It's a folder on my system so it should act just like a folder. Dragging to it moves from local disk, copies from remote disk. Ubuntu One isn't like an sshfs mounted chunk of space, it's just a folder which happens to have some magic that syncs it to the cloud. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
