But I don't exactly understand what you mean by "we should automatically start the restore-published-shares process when users fill in sharing account information"? Do you mean the list to be available thru a button from the accounts dialog, and you can selectively pick the ones you want to restore. Sorry, I am a little unclear on that. Basically, I don't have a strong opinion on where we put this functionality but it would be nice to have it accessible more easily. > > Mimi > > > On Sep 4, 2007, at 11:53 AM, Morgen Sagen wrote: > >> I was probably one of the people who pushed for it to be under Tools, >> but I will give a +1 vote to move it somewhere more prominent because >> I've actually told two end-users to use it recently. >> >> On 9/4/07, Aparna Kadakia <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I want to propose moving the "Restore Published Shares" out of the >>> tools menu >>> into the one of the main menu items like 'Share'. >> _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ >> >> Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list >> http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design > > _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > > Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list > http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
