[Dash] Language in "Uninstall confirmation" in the UX doc looks wrong

[Alejandro J. Cura]

The texts in the "Uninstall confirmation" page in the Apps Scope UX spec don't match the same texts in the Dash Visual Design document, and they have some typos.

Also, the buttons in the Visual Design document are "Yes, uninstall" and "No", and afaik they should be both labeled with actions.

Please look here for more comments.

Copied over from the MP:

17 + var message = "Uninstall this app will delete all the related information. Are you sure you want to uninstall?";
18 + var preview = new Unity.GenericPreview("Confirmation", message, null);
19 + preview.add_action (new Unity.PreviewAction (ACTION_CLOSE_PREVIEW, ("Not anymore"), null));
20 + preview.add_action (new Unity.PreviewAction (ACTION_CONFIRM_UNINSTALL, ("Yes Uninstall"), null));

The text here should be changed, I think.

We should probably use "Remove" rather than "Uninstall" in the UI, For the message, I would suggest:

"Removing this application will delete all its information. Do you want to continue?"

And for the buttons, I would use "Cancel" and "Remove" respectively.

Also, we should use "application" in all UI, and not the short-hand "app."

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Even better, I would recommend completely removing the confirmation page. It's ugly, a lie, and disruptive to the user experience. Removing an app does not delete an app's information, and in some cases, the app may not actually be removed from the system at all (if other users on a multi-user device have "installed" it, or if it's a pre-installed app, for example).

Mike, were you able to look at this at all? Would be nice if we could just get rid of the confirmation here.

I think we still need the confirmation as it's quite a destructive action (from the user's perspective at least - even though they can re-download the app). I agree the messaging could be better though. Can you link to the spec and visual designs you're woking from please just so I can check I'm looking at the same ones.

If uninstalling doesn't delete the info then we should certainly not have that as the message. I wouldn't say Remove though as it could be ambiguous in some places. We should say uninstall or delete. How about:

Uninstall appname?

[Cancel] [Uninstall]

Here's the spec:
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1qjnUirxkswgCvWRT5ervfQoR03zs-7HIIMI2e3Lvuqs/edit#heading=h.ntxd0dh4d0gb

And these are the visual designs:

I'm OK with just "Uninstall $appname?" sure. Would rather not have the confirmation at all (I don't think it's as destructive as we are making it out to be, by having the confirmation).

As alecu already posted the links to the previous spec/visuals I won't repeat them. I did notice the new specs/visuals we received yesterday had no confirmation in any of the uninstall workflows. So I am slightly confused by the conflicting information from there, and this bug report, as well. :)

I'll make sure the app store specs have the uninstall confirmation in there

  * Improve the text in the uninstall confirmation dialog per latest
    design. (LP: #1234211). Reorder the header and screenshots to more
    closely match the new design. Translations updates. Update autopilot
    tests for some changes in apps and unity8. Log the response body on
    network errors. Initial work for splitting scope per new designs.
    Support running unit tests under valgrind. (LP: #1234211)
