Summary	0019327: Sync confirmation dialog usability issues
Description	The new sync confirmation dialog resolves issues in 11449, but is still quite confusing in some ways: 1) Many users don't realize that the 'Confirm' check at the top is clickable 2) Many users don't realize that the icons in the list behave as checkboxes 3) The summary information appears above the list rather than below as is usually the case This can be easily fixed by: - Moving the confirmation button to the bottom (or making it an action button) - Using actual checkboxes - Having a clear summary at the bottom that better clarifies the purpose of the dialog Below is a mockup that clarifies this suggestion.

rusty 2022-08-25 19:40 administrator ~0069062	Note: i) The sync status bar was intentionally retained at the top--displaying that the sync operation is already underway (see 0019327) ii) This proposal makes no assumptions about whether different storage locations are on a single screen or not. i.e. confirmation of multiple storage locations could be on a single screen, or on separate screens. iii) The existing confirmation dialog has an 'x' to bypass confirmation and continue the sync operation. The current UI doesn't have this, but afaik, the same can be easily achieved by unchecking all checkboxes. (adding a 'cancel' button at the bottom wouldn't make sense since it would imply canceling the sync operation in its entirety. iv) Although I propose using standard checkboxes, another alternative could be to use icons that consist of only the icon outline. This might make it more obvious that the item can be checked (though I suspect that most users will still not realize that).

rusty 2022-10-13 01:27 administrator ~0069782	Tested 1028 and it works great! Just a minor issue: the checkboxes aren't aligned with the 'Upload'/'Delete' icons.
