• Clicking the checkbox to the left of a file name brings up a row of buttons: Delete, Move, Copy
• Clicking the 3-dots at the right hand side: Download, Rename, Copy, Move, Delete

Expected behaviour: First thought: Why is there no Rename amongst Delete, Move, Copy?
Second thought: Should not both of them have all actions? But then why have both....

I don't know what to expect. But the current options are strange.

First thought: Why is there no Rename amongst Delete, Move, Copy?

For the bulk-file selection, Rename does not make sense. Each file needs to be renamed to some unique name.

Michael Barz commented: The Move and Copy actions are "bulk" actions.

The three dots actions have beed removed.

The sidebar actions are the "single file actions".

Could that clarify it?

Please check out current phoenix.owncloud.com

@jnweiger does this need further escalation with @LukasHirt or can it be closed?

[LukasHirt]

As both Phil and Michael nicely mentioned, it is a difference between bulk actions and single resource actions. We were considering using the sidebar also for bulk actions. Basically, instead of details about the selected resource, the user would see details about the selection in the header of the sidebar and would then have batch actions in the actions accordion. Of course, the actions would depend on the context - not all actions make sense in batch actions.

Maybe we can use this ticket to track progress on that?

@LukasHirt perfect. I see the JIRA labels on it, so it should also be on JIRA.

Moving this to the web repo since it's a phoenix/web topic

[pascalwengerter]

Closing this since it has been clarified that it's about bulk actions vs individual actions and we'll update the sidebar soon anyways
