Bug Description
Seen with OpenCloud 3.4.0 OpenCloud Web UI 3.2.0
The terms 'hidden file' and 'hidden share' are used together.
A share with a name starting with dot, is a hidden file, regardless weather it is a hidden share or not.
A user can hide received shares. That hides them from the normal list of shares.
When a user only has a hidden share, then normal shared with me view says 'no shares'. Which sounds more general than it is.
It means "no unhidden shares".
Suggestions:
a)
The summary text "No shares" should have more details. E.g. it cloud say
"0 visible / 1 hidden share (excluding 2 shares with hidden names)"
when there are
- 2 shares starting with a dot (and "show hidden files" is not on)
- one normal share that was switched to hidden
when "show hidden files" is on, the "(excluding ...)" part should be omitted, as everthing is counted in the other two numbers.
When nothing was hidden by the user, the part "/ X hidden" could be ommited.
b) Change the language, so that there is no confusion between hidden and hidden.
Reproduction Steps
create a file name starting with a dot on the server. Share that with another user.
create another file and share it with the same user.
as a share receiver,
open the shares tab, and click around: gears wheel and eye icon until everything disappears.
Expected Outcome
The number of files and folders should be transparent at any time, regardless if a shares starts with a dot or not, and regardless if the user has clicked hidden or not.
Actual Outcome
confusion.
