Description
Pascal Rapicault
Can you provide a sketch how that would look like in your opinion? Especially because in bug 460827 you ask us to improve what the Platform team considers adequate for users to control their network preferences. Ah, I did not properly capture my idea. What I meant here is to make the "network settings" button available on the main page. It could be next to the advanced setting button. But there may be better places too. I see. That's probably a good idea. Especially because accessing the product catalogs (they're not stored in the installer!) could already require to configure the network settings! Now you got me. I just wanted to find out where that button is right now and I couldn't. Where is it?? I vaguely remember that Ed and I discussed that it would be okay to not show that button in the *simple* mode. We tried to avoid everything that's not strictly needed and could distract or confuse people. We had the idea of opening that network dialog (or something similar) if we detect that the product catalogs are not reachable. (In reply to Eike Stepper from comment #4) > Now you got me.

On the advanced settings UI, at the bottom left :) (In reply to Eike Stepper from comment #5) > I vaguely remember that Ed and I discussed that it would be okay to not show > that button in the *simple* mode.

I don't like the automatic opening if we can't provide context to the user as to why this is happening. A good first step would be to display a message and provide a link to open the page. Ok, I thought you were talking about the simple mode. Now I don't understand what you mean by "main page" then. In the advanced mode the network settings button is on the dialog button bar, i.e., it's visible on all wizard pages, including the first (main?) one. (In reply to Pascal Rapicault from comment #7) > A good first step would be to display a message > and provide a link to open the page. That's what we had in mind. BTW. for us it's always hard to test/play these scenarios when a user has no default network access. Do you know what type of exceptions we could expect in these cases? Investigating... |
