Smart Card sharing indication
Problem to solve
When sharing USB device, it's enough to type information in the field USB device redirection
.
Following the same pattern, I expected Smart Card to be shared if field Name of smart card
is not empty. I've spent quite a bit of time before learning from #1737 (closed) that it's also required to check a Share a smart card
box.
Further details
This USB and Smart Card sharing inconsistency is confusing.
Fields Name of smart card
and Share a smart card
are located far from each other. After finding Name of smart card
field, user would not scroll down further looking for another controlling option.
Proposal
Possible solutions:
- Enable Smart Card sharing when
Name of smart card
is non-empty, removingShare a smart card
check-box - Highlight field
Name of smart card
if it is non-empty andShare a smart card
check-box is not checked. Hover-over info-box may be placed saying something like "Share a smart card
box is not checked" - Put
Name of smart card
andShare a smart card
UI elements on the same line (would make UI inconsistent) - Add
Enable USB device redirection
UI check-box element
