Description
I watched someone (Dan Shoutis) use Tahoe-LAFS for the first time, using the WUI, and he was uncertain/confused about whether a created directory would be linked to from an extant directory or not. Currently there are two buttons in the WUI to create a directory. The one on the Welcome Page is labelled like:
- label: "Create a directory"
- button: "Create a directory"
and the one on the directory page is labelled like:
- label: "Create a new directory in this directory"
- label: "New directory name: " [text entry field]
- button: "Create"
Let's change this so that the Welcome Page has:
- button: "create an unlinked directory"
and the directory page has:
- label: "create a directory and link to it from this directory"
- label: "new directory name:" [text entry field]
- button: "create"
Opinions?
(By the way I deliberately changed capitalization because sentences should start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark and sentence fragments should do neither.)
