Created attachment 142692 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY The "Send to device" dialog of KDE Connect has several usability issues. This ticket is only about issues regarding the two buttons at the bottom of the dialog. 1. Wrong button alignment KDE dialogs align their primary buttons to the right side, not the left side. Couldn't find HIG guidelines on this, but you can check any other KDE dialogs for reference. 2. Weird button labels The [Run] and [Back] button labels feel extremely weird on a file sharing dialog. You're not trying to run something, you're trying to send something. Shouldn't they say [Send] and [Cancel]? That would more accurately describe their purpose. 3. Buttons have no icons They help quickly recognizing which button does what. 4. No default button specified Helps quickly recognizing which button does what. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.23 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3
Working on it.

Unfortunately setting a default button can't easily be done in this type of dialog, but I can fix everything else.
