## Feature request

**Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using:**
34.0.3

I feel that version 34 of NextCloud Desktop has caused us to lose quite a bit of visual feedback in the desktop interface. Version 33 allowed us to see in real time what NextCloud was doing, and to know when there was a problem or when we needed to wait before shutting down the computer because a sync was in progress. In version 34, I can’t tell what NextCloud is doing, and I don’t know when I can shut down my PC. I have to go to the “Settings” menu to find some information, and even then, it’s much less clear than in version 33.

So my wish would be to keep the new look of version 34, but with a clearer display of ongoing actions—action bars and condensed information for multiple servers, rather than the split view as implemented in version 34. That way, I’d know what NextCloud is doing without having to search everywhere to figure it out.

-------------------------------
Je trouve que la version 34 de Nexcloud Bureau nous a fait perdre pas mal d'informations visuel dans l'interface PC. La version 33 nous permettait de voir en direct ce que faisait NextCloud, et de savoir quand il y avait un problème ou quand il fallait attendre pour fermer le PC, car une synchronisation était en cours. Dans la version 34, je n'arrive pas à savoir ce que fait NextCloud, je ne sais pas quand je peux fermer mon PC. Il faut que j'aille dans le menu "paramètres" pour trouver quelques informations, et encore, elles sont beaucoup moins claires que dans la version 33.

Mon souhait serait donc de garder Le nouveau look de la version 34, mais avec un affichage plus clair des actions en cours ; des barres d'actions et une information condensée pour les serveurs multiples et non plus divisés, comme cela a était implementé dans la version 34. Ansi je saurais ce que NextCloud est en train de faire. Sans avoir à chercher partout pour essayer de comprendre.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by comparing the desktop interface in versions 33 and 34, then clarify with maintainers the expected ongoing-sync and multi-server information display; done means the agreed behavior is implemented and verified.
