Description Eira Monstad 2008-06-04 17:20:26 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
You can set up several connections to export to Gallery. Nothing prevents the user from entering the same name for multiple connections. This leads to confusion when trying to pick the correct connection afterwards (even if it only is to delete the wrong one)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a Web Gallery connection
2. Set up another Web Gallery connection with the same name


Actual results:
Both connections are created, and you end up with two identical entries in the list, without knowing which is which

Expected results:
A warning saying that this name is already in use, asking the user to pick another name

Does this happen every time?
Yes

i'm sorry this can't be considered a bug. gallery names are a user choice.
Comment 2 Eira Monstad 2008-06-05 07:12:21 UTC 
Users are unlikely to enter identical names because they want it that way. In 99% of cases it would be a mistake, and f-spot should help users avoid annoying and confusing mistakes, IMHO.

Btw, the reason why I opened this bug was this comment from bug 349422:

with the latest CVS, f-spot no longer hangs and ends up with 2 galleries with
the same name.
This should be disallowed.

looks like we regressed

fixed again in r4044, the new GalleryExtension for 0.4.4 is being uploaded to the repository
