Title:
  "Sharing options" dialog: no notice when share name is too long

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:

Status in Nautilus:

Status in “nautilus-share” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In Nautilus, when creating a share, the "Sharing Options" dialogue
  does not notify the user that the share name is too long until the
  dialogue is saved and re-opened. This could cause a user to do all
  kinds of troubleshooting that isn't required.

  Say I enter "thisnameistoodarnlongtobeasharename" and click "Create
  share". The dialogue will allow me to click "Create share" with that
  name in place. Upon re-opening, the dialogue now says "Share name is
  too long" at the bottom, and the text box is shaded yellow.

  The length/validity of the share name should be checked upon the click
  of the "Create share" button, and an error message be thrown up (in
  the form of a dialogue box, or at least a red-X-type of icon and bold
  text *next to the text field*) if the name is not valid. The dialogue
  should not allow a user to "Create share" with a name that is too
  long.

  Thanks!
