UI Design Problems

  • When looking at the "deleted files" list:
    • No way to change the sorting (always starts with oldest first, which doesn't make sense even as a default)
    • No way to mass-restore files (by date, file mask, deletion source)
      • This is more of a problem than it seems:
        • Each restore takes several seconds.
        • You can initiate multiple restores in parallel (just click "restore" for all the visible files on the screen), but this seems to be one source of the unspecified errors; if you wait between files, the errors seem to go away.
    • No information about which user/client/IP deleted them.
      • The "Activity log" does indicate which user, but gives no other info.
    • When there's a problem restoring a file or folder, no information is given, not even which file/folder had the problem.
      • There's just a drop-down which says "Error while restoring file from trashbin".
    • No way to bulk-upload files from a backup (if web-based restore fails)
    • No way to clear the useless list of "error while" errors. The restore process is just badly designed overall.
    • If the user tried to restore a file and it failed, there should be some kind of visual indication of that (so you don't keep trying the same files).
