Finished Syncing notification

[jake404]

There is no global setting to disable the 'Finished Syncing' notification for all folders.

You are correct. There is however a single checkbox which will disable all folders at the same time. What is the issue?

The above mentioned notifications are very annoying and having to change notifications for each folder on every computer is a pain. There are global settings for the other notifications so why not have one for this notification.

There isn't a "global" setting because the interaction of a global setting with per-folder settings is confusing for users. They enable the setting for a folder, yet there are no notifications: why? Then enable global notifications but some folders don't notify: why?

Other settings have only a global setting because noone requested a per-folder setting.

As I said in my previous message, you can click a single checkbox to disable all folders at once. This one right here:

Does that checkbox disable new folders as well? If so then the choice of UI components are unintuitive. Normally a checkbox above a list of checkboxes is a mass select/deselect only.

[canton7]

It is a mass deselect. Are you concerned about new folders, too? You didn't mention them.

Either way, a global setting as well as per-folder settings is not really viable, for the reasons I explained above. I can put some logic in which says "If we're adding a new folder, and the notifications for all previous folders are disabled, then initially disable notifications for this folder as well". At least what happened is clear to someone who views the settings.

[jake404]

I feel that it would be more confusing that way. I would just use that top checkbox to disable all the checkboxes below it and also disable notifications completely. If that's not at all acceptable then your solution would be a decent compromise.

Cool. I'm pretty busy right now, but there will hopefully be another release within the next couple of months.
