Description Allan Day 2012-09-28 15:07:55 UTC 
After I click on an item in the main list, I am taken to a new view. However, there is no obvious way to get back to the list. If you take someone somewhere, you should always provide them with a way to get back again. It's confusing if you don't.

My suggestion would be to place a back button where the stop button currently is, and to combine the stop button with the refresh button (you shouldn't need them both simultaneously anyway).

The idea was that you cannot go back without cancelling, so we turn the left button into a stop button while the scan is running and then back into a back button when the scan is finished.


But after trying it for a while I tend to agree that it is a bit confusing.


I guess we could turn refresh into stop and leave back on the left, but make it implicitely "cancel & back"

Remove the 'stop' action

Instead, always enable the 'reload' action and make it a combined
'stop and refresh' action.
