[QA] Favorites are harder to reach than in classic design

[jnweiger]

Seen with web-1.0.2 in owncloud server 10.6.0

Follow the setup instructions at https://owncloud.github.io/clients/web/deployments/oc10-app/

• visit Settings -> New Design
• Setting Favorites is the far right 3-dots menu, a) In the heading as a star icon, and b) as a text element "Mark as favorite":
  
  Why twice? What is the difference between the two ways?

---

• In the Classic Design: Favorites were easily reachable at the left of each Thumbnail with the well known star icon.
  

Expected behavior:

• Usability would not degrade from Classic to new Design:
  • All favorites in a folder are directly visible without the need of clicking open one menu per folder entry
  • redudant textual clutter is avoided
  • excessive mouse travel is avoided

There is also the action Mark as favorite in the list of actions. But I agree, having it accessible from the files list would make sense. I'd love to have it as a quick action. Compared to the classic frontend it would switch sides (far right instead of far left) then, but I'd be fine with that.

@tbsbdr needs a PM/UX decision :)

as benedikt said - should be covered by a quickaction. additionally favorising will be available via righclick. added this issue to our quickaction-epic

Nope, because that PR doesn't introduce favorites as quickaction. ;-)

Favorites will be implemented with a new look and feel in web/ocis, closing here
