Properties of a folder are confusing

[Gavin Hamill]

In Kubuntu, select any folder and choose Properties. Two of the tabs are 'Share' and 'Sharing' - a grammatical nonsense.

'Share' relates purely to Samba / NFS fileshares on a LAN, whilst 'Sharing' relates purely to HTTP sharing using the 'kpf' applet

These features must either be integrated into a single 'Sharing' tab, or clearly marked 'Local sharing' and 'Web sharing' or similar user-friendly terms.

Cheers,
Gavin.

I agree, this should get examined for Fiesty.

I think this should be as easy as LanShare and WWWShare

Still in Feisty, oh and it will be in Gutsy as well, 3.5.7.

hehe, ya, I don't know how KDE will work out UI bugs like this, however...this would be nothing more than a simple string fix in the code.

You know what, let me pull my previous statement about it not being in Gutsy. Let me do some talking and see what I can do.

In KDE4 there is one "share" tab.
