Short introductory tour after setup

[jancborchardt]

From issue https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/784, a part which was overlooked:

Additionally, after initial setup (since it’s syncing) we should add a short tour for introduction. (Info about the tray icon, settings, etc).

I’m thinking about 3 steps:

• Syncing from desktop
• Multi-account
• Pointing out the tray icon

cc @danimo @dragotin @ogoffart @guruz similar to how it’s done in the iOS app.

@jancborchardt screenshot? I don't have iOS.

@nasli @ggdiez @rperezb can you link the video demo of the wizard in the iOS app?

[jancborchardt]

As a comparison as well, look at the Dropbox installation.

@jancborchardt Will be a bit funny on Linux, given all the difference in systray handling, but a great idea otherwise.

[jancborchardt]

@danimo can you specify? Will there be problems such as the systray not starting until the wizard is done?

[jancborchardt]

To clarify: Initially I’m just talking about a 3-page wizard-style thing showing a screenshot and one sentence for each feature. :)

[ogoffart]

The problem is that you need a different screenshots for each desktop.

Also screenshots quickly becomes out of dates from version to versions and we really need not to forget to update it all the time.

I think this means a lot of maintainence work.

It should be a form with a browser control (QWebView) and a checkbox (show at startup) with a similar logic like the update mechanism where some parameters are set via GET Request (client, version and platform) and very important owncloud.com should be the care taker of the content :-D

I like. I think a quick call out / intro is a common meme these days, and helps get new people started.

We do need to consider which 3 pages we call out. I propose these:

• Syncing from desktop (same as above)
• Sharing from desktop (new)
• Pointing out the tray icon and popup (updated)

Possibly we could add multi-account as a 4th page...that gets more advanced to understand.

[jancborchardt]

Right, sharing of course.

Should we point out multi-account and selective sync at all? Selective sync doesn’t really make sense at this step because the choice is made before. And multiaccount might not be as interesting as the other things.

Video of the help guide, https://s3.owncloud.com/owncloud/index.php/s/AKIgCGDy93Ahsdo The help guide on iOS, ftm, it is only shown the very first time the app is open. I mean, it´s per app not per account
