Problem: Ubuntu One uses emblems to show sync state, but the Dash doesn't show them
- inconsistent with the file browser
- current plan is for the Dash never to show emblems
- whose job is it to find an alternative way of presenting sync state?
[unity-design-team] Either approve emblems in the Dash, or design a reasonable replacement for showing that files are in particular states
Related problem: Nautilus shows Ubuntu One and other emblems as user-settable when they should not be
- readonly
- unreadable
- synchronizing
- ubuntuone-
- ubuntuone-updating
- ubuntuone-
Problem: Some people get inundated with file sync notification bubbles
- it's not obvious enough how to turn it off
[u1desktop+] Fix the wording of the "Show activity notifications" checkbox
Problem: When someone runs out of free space, they need to be notified and optionally take action
- buy more space, or delete files
- current implementation: messaging menu
- dismissing when first seen, but somehow reminded once in a while
- perhaps opening the control panel when running out of space, but making the out-of-space situation very explicit
- alternatively: open an alert box in the background
- needs DX help to ensure this works properly
- alert box should close if the problem solves itself (ie, more space available)
