[Bug 1045799] Re: Manual partitioner: Icons 'Add', 'Remove', and 'Modify' are a bit confusing

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

The icon names used are "list-add-symbolic" and "list-remove-symbolic".
While generic + and - may have different meaning, they have consistent meaning across Gnome and defiantly in all the main Gnome applications. See for example system preferences. It's always add or create a new item, and remove or delete an item.

I do not see how this leads to data loss:
- revert button is offered
- the top segmented bars clearly indicate what is happening

Ubuntu forums is self-selective and not representative.

BTW including screenshots of unrelated software is confusing. As gparted
is never used as part of the installation process. That screen is never
shown.

No, it's not clear. Please wait for these fixes to be released. Wait for
a daily image to be published and then test this out in a VM. And take
screenshots cause there are plenty of visual clues and warnings given.
If that is not the case, please open a new bug report.

This is not a discussion forum.

Title:
  Manual partitioner: Icons 'Add', 'Remove', and 'Modify' are a bit
  confusing

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Quantal Desktop 20120903.4

  On the manual partitioner there are 3 small icons below the partition
  list: a plus sign, and minus sign, and a gear. But their meaning is
  not clear and tooltips like "Add partition", "Remove partition" and
  "Modify partition" would clarify their usage.
