[Bug 959809] [NEW] MyUnity quicklist default settings needs a warning

 

Public bug reported:

Attached is a video showing the issues using the "default settings"
option for the QuickList.

The warning needs to be more explicit - something like "Warning - this
will remove all your custom launcher icons and reset all icon positions
back to their defaults".

The current warning is not really informative as to what the result will
be when resetting the quicklist default settings.


To be honest - all I was expecting was custom quicklists to be removed, since this section is entitled "quicklists" - I wasnt expecting a "unity --reset-icons" to take place

Second - very minor -  clicking the "default settings" option showed
lots of "gsettings" errors in the terminal.  Looks like some kind of
code loop needs to be reinitialised with the new contents of the
launcher after the first reset.
