Description Michael Monreal 2008-09-24 13:08:03 UTC
There are some strange things related to the "browse" dialog:

a) The dialog is called "Browse Devices" and you want to "browse", yet the buttons on the bottom say "cancel" and "connect". Why is the connect button not called "browse"?

b) There's a duplicate string here:
---
<b>Select device to browse</b>
Select a device from the following list
---
I don't think we need both of them.

c) The device column shows a key icon... I know this has a special meaning but I forgot... It's "trusted", is it? It looks like "password protected" though. Needs a better icon!

Reassigning to bluez-gnome fork, gnome-bluetooth.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2009-02-25 14:54:11 UTC
Could you please check whether this is still true with gnome-bluetooth? And please file separate bugs in the future.
Comment 4 Michael Monreal 2009-02-25 18:22:22 UTC
All three are still the same as when originally reported. The screenshot has everything marked.

It's "paired", and it's the same icon that MacOS X uses. This should be fixed in the future when we get proper user docs for gnome-bluetooth.
