Subsurface Mobile UI: Cloud sync / Offline mode wrong sidebar text

[Davide DB]

Hi all,

Maybe I'm getting old but playing with a fresh installation on my Nexus
tablet I realized that a menu items on the sidebar could mislead an average
joe like me.

Playing with BT download I did not understand why my dives where
automagically synced with the cloud. While seeing on the sidebar "Auto
cloud sync enabled" my log showed me a suspicious string "have cloud
credentials, but user asked not to connect to network"". Hummm...

Basically:

Opening the sidebar menu "Dive management"  when the device is connected
with the cloud AKA automatic cloud synchronization is enabled I get:




The last item correctly indicates me that* if I press* "Offline mode" I
will disconnect from the cloud. In other words, text string shows the new
status I will go if I press that button.

Pressing the "offline mode button" I get no message and the UI become:




As you can see there is an error because the *Auto sync is not enabled now*
but if I will press the button I will enable the Auto cloud sync.
The correct text would be "Enable auto cloud sync". So it will be
consistent with all menu items: *the button text will always shows the
action, not the current state*.

There is another small error because now (I'm offline) when I press the
"Auto cloud sync enabled" button the UI will show me the "offline mode"
button but I get a completely wrong popup message:



It alert me that I'm going to disable auto sync which is not. This popup
should appear when I press "offline mode".

Of course we could choose to indicate the current status on that buttons
but it will break the overall meaning of other menu items. I guess the
error arose because the short "offline mode" text string is misleading by
itself. Maybe a more verbose like "Disable auto cloud sync mode" would be
better suited along "Enable  auto cloud sync mode". The popup should be
changed anyway.

Bye
