Proposing as NTH: Since Unknown's contents are closed by default, it's non-obvious how to proceed in Manual Partitioning with an existing Windows installation. Differentiation between New Fedora and Existing Windows significantly improves the Ux, and hints at what the user's next step should be. Created attachment 663316 [details]

+1 NTH Anything we can do to increase the chances some *doze user migrates to Fedora should be encouraged. This was really set up to display additional Linux installations, but could probably be adapted for anything that os-prober understands. However, that seems unlikely to me to be done for F18. Discussed at 2012-12-19 NTH review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-12-19/f18final-blocker-review-6.2012-12-19-17.02.log.txt . Agreed this would be nice but probably isn't worth the risk of poking partitioning code this late, and clumens doesn't think it's likely to get done anyway, so rejected as NTH. This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Chris, do you know if this is still valid? I don't have a Windows install handy to check. It's still showing up under Unknown. Question is whether that's the best UI/UX to indicate it. |
