Bug ID: 310628 Severity: normal Version: 4.9.3 Priority: NOR Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Summary: Don't use arrow icons to show/hide details in the progress indicator Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux Reporter: pancho...@riseup.net Hardware: Chakra Status: UNCONFIRMED Component: folders Product: kmail2 When synchronizing IMAP folders (probably POP as well, but I don't use that), the progress indicator in the status bar displays an upward arrow. Even if you know that the arrow is a details button, this is disturbing, as an upward arrow is strongly associated with uploading resp. synchronizing up. In some circumstances (e.g. after hitting other bugs making you nervous about your data) this is even more disturbing: you know for sure that there is nothing to synchronize upwards, so you're fearing that kmail/Akonadi might do something with the data on your server that it shouldn't do. Again, knowing doesn't help as our limbic system doesn't care. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: It would be expected that the arrow indicates whether currently data is being synchronized up resp. synchronized down. The progress details button should use a different icon. However, plus and minus wouldn't be better, as these are associated with adding resp. deleting items. The best approach I can come up is a magnifier icon on a snap-in / snap-out button. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
