Confusing "save connection" behavior

Open Fensterbank opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

What happens:

  • When pressing "+" the form to create a new connection will open
  • When I press "Save connection" while having an open connection, this connection will be saved grafik

The button has nothing to do with the form, it is bound to the active connection. This explains why this button was disabled when I created the first connection. I was confused, I cannot save it, but the reason was that I did not have an active connection.

What do users expect:

  • The button should act as a flag, if the connection I'm just creating should be saved in the library.
  • With the current functionality of the button, it should not be part of the form

Agree. Added a bookmark action item to the Dashboard in 1c8a4b0

Should it be removed from the login?

@matthiaaas I'd rather change its behaviour to a check box, so that'll save it after a succesful connection.

I agree on both cases.

  • If it's not yet bookmarked, a bookmark action items on the Dashboard makes sense.
  • When creating a connection in most cases I already know if I want to bookmark it, so a checkbox to bookmark it after a successful connection would be good.

  1. The bookmark action item should be always visible to also allow removing of the bookmark. Indicated by filled or unfilled icon.
  2. Agree to checkbox.
  3. Make it possible to add a bookmark without connecting.
