Having account setup in Online Accounts, instead of inside an app, makes the app harder to use. People have to learn and understand that there's a separate place on the system listing a separate "online account" that an app may or may not have permission to access. So it's worthwhile only if it saves a lot of time -- only if multiple apps use the same kind of account. As long as there's only one ownCloud app, having ownCloud accounts in Online Accounts would be counterproductive. >> If multiple click packages provide the same account plug-in, >> does online-accounts show it multiple times, or does it get >> limited to the one account type being shown in the list?

That's an example of why apps shouldn't be able to add account types to Online Accounts at all. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlP0VvgACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecrXPACePqcUh/QVGY6lsgki+bN5i38R mCAAoMhzNTfr1nFf3BltiDq69bfPiNHI =iC8f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
