It's pretty clear that no service has been configured. I've already implemented this and rest of kendy's proposals (not marked as 'to be discussed') :) I will push my changes to the master branch then you will be able to try it. </blockquote> Had a discussion with Kendy on IRC. His argument is convenience and unambiguousness - no need to click the 'add service' button where nothing else is possible (when the add service dialog is canceled you end in the empty dialog). I care about consitency and user expectation - to run functions automatically is a wizard-like behavior and not common in Libreoffice; the mental step from open remote file to add service needs to be done anyway. Another disadvantage is that writing a guideline for dialogs is not getting easier. Both opinions are valid, and if we do not get more input here either the user or the developer decides eventually. <blockquote class="felamimail-body-blockquote">> > * when opening the "Open Remote" dialog, either the list of files should > > be populated (using the currently selected service), or some feedback > > should be given that some user action is expected first > +1 for showing the list of files > (currently the list is updated when an item from the service dropdown is > selected) Most of services needs authorization, so first the login box appears and then files will be shown (if password isn't remembered). Problem I have is: if password is no needed, dialog will appear only after getting files from remote server. During this time LO is not responsive. </blockquote> If we automatically start the add service function we could also present a list of services to choose one in order to initialize the dialog. Alternatively, the dropdown with predefined services should be empty or showing the advice 'Select a service'. And if all fails we rather add the refresh button instead of requiring the user to click somewhere. <blockquote class="felamimail-body-blockquote"><user><name><name>I also have a proposal to add "New Folder" button in the save mode. Now it is possible to save files in the existing directories only. When user want to save in a folder other than root, must create it using other tools. </name></name></user> </blockquote> Same as for my resentments about adding the refresh button: If dialogs may show any buttons we do not manage consistency (at least at the dialog bottom). But I agree with small, toolbar-like buttons without caption perhaps, above the list of files. And of course the context menu may (and should) provide the functionality. </body></html>
