Seen in 10.9.0 RC2 - (not a regression, this is unchanged since ownCloud version 3 according to Holger)

  • Open the clasic files Web UI
  • The main settings pages are available under the user name in the top right corner. OK
  • There is also a smaller Settings menu in the lower left corner. (Both highlighted in red) image

The menu in the lower left has normally only one setting and one information: image

The new Web UI does not have the lower left settings at all. Thus these two items will not be available any more.

I suggest the following enhancement:

  • Both items from the lower left should be integrated into the user's personal settings page. Mockup idea: image

  • The lower left settings box should be reduced to [ ] show hidden files (or not even that ...) [Visit your personal settings] (link to that)
