Description Marcos Mezo 2007-05-28 14:18:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When there are automatic syncing problems between a local and remote (kolab2 in this case task) a warning is presented to the user.

The dialog is IMHO quite confusing.

First you are told that there is a problem. You get "distracted by a warning about rechecking the mail to get it updated, then there are buttons to "respond" , but only afterwards the local and remote versions are showed so you can make the right decission.

Not only this, but afterwards you are given more or less the same options as in the buttons in the first half of the dialogs under a "preferences" section. You (I at least) wonder. Should I check the right option here as well? Will it work if I just press the button if its a different choice than the one selected in the radio buttons?. At last there is one button "aply to all conflicts in this syncronization", but it is not inside the preferences, so ¿does it apply to all the dialog? (In spanish, it even comes half hidden because it doesn't fit in the default window size)

I think the dialog should be as follows:
- Problem description
- Local and remote discrepancy
- Butons to make the choice
- Hiden or clearly separated the preferences for "alway do the same".
