3.0.1 missing accounts button on ubuntu focal

[mbogner]

On Ubuntu Focal with latest updates and latest version of the PPA desktop client (3.0.1) the gui refuses to add or edit clients. Maybe I missed some integration but I only managed to add my second nextcloud account via editing ./config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg. I am used to have a accounts button above the folder sync section but its just missing.

I consider it to be a bug but maybe I just missed an integration somewhere and I am supposed to configure it in another way on Linux?

This is now on the main dialog this is why you don't find that button here anymore. Closing it.

[mbogner]

@er-vin Thx. Found it.

My 2 cents: Not really intuitive on ubuntu 20.04. Need to click the tray icon and chose open main dialogue. Normally I consider being able to configure an application in its settings menu where this is was removed from.

@er-vin
Sorry, but full ack to @mbogner

Its totally counter-intuitive, especially resolving conflicts is really, really hard.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 btw.

I mean, this silly main window vanishes whenever I'm leaving focus on it. Even taking a simple screen is basically impossible, since a key or mouse press leaves the focus of this thing.

How the hell should I get any information on the conflict? The shown path is much too short to see the filename. I mean, 4 levels of directories (with short names! About 20 chars each!) are not really that much. And clicking on the info in the main window opens the web interface of our NC instance...but unfortunately at the top level. So, again, no information on the conflicting file.

Or did I miss something?

For now, I'm downgraded to 2.6.5...which is sad, since the other new features (E2EE-Integration etc) are really great.

And in general: thanks for the great work :)

"Open main dialog" doesn't do anything here. No window, nothing. Xubuntu 20.04, upgraded to 20.10, Nextcloud client 3.0.2 from the PPA.

Same as @thomasboehm : maybe we should open a separate bug report. On ubuntu 20.04 20.04, client 3.4.0 (ubuntu) the "Open main dialog" action does nothing.

[wujastyk]

+1 for "Open main dialog" action does nothing. I see this will be fixed in 3.4.2: #4069
