I guess by "Information" you mean "Details". (At least, that's what it is in English in 14.04 and 15.10.) Either way, though, yes, that panel is a junk drawer and System Settings would be better off without it. "Overview" would be more coherent as a standalone "About This Computer" window. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice#PC> And "Legal Notice" would be more relevant as a dialog accessed from an unobtrusive "ℹ" or similar button in the corner of the Dash itself. > I propose to change the location of the "Default Application" > settings and the "Removal Media" settings to something more > suitable.

It's "Software & Updates", and I doubt many people would expect to find default app settings there. That panel is about where Ubuntu Software Center, Software Updater etc look for software and how they behave. Instead, I suggest combining "Default Applications" and "Removable Media" into a single panel labelled "Apps & Devices" or similar. > However, since both settings are bound to the user account, maybe > a new page / icon in the "Personal" section of the system settings > would be better suited. > > ... "Personal" is not the same as "bound to the user account". For example, accessibility settings and (currently) backups are bound to the user account, but they are in "System". The categorization is about how users think of the settings, not about whether they happen to be user-account-specific. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlag/YUACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecrm6wCeOlZpZhluLBRPBzUqwxYcbIek pl8An1s9Ux8erNMSQr4otCQO2BvKpWAJ =ElP5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
