Description
Nextcloud version: (see Nextcloud admin page)
18.0.3
Updated from an older Nextcloud/ownCloud or fresh install:
Updated
I uploaded a directory with multiple subdirectories.
I received tens of notifications for locked files.
The notifications were correct, yet there are three problems:
-
the notifications were misaligned on the left, you can notice it by looking at the red vertical stripes. So a little bug in the interface
-
I had to dismiss all the notifications by hand, and I said there were tens of them. I think that a "x files locked" message would be better
-
I did not have any practical mean to save the list of files with problems for a successive check. A way of saving all the notifications in a file/note/whatever... would allow the user to review easily each problem afterwards
