Sorry I think this is bad UI design.
Authored by: soosy on Mar 21, '02 01:09:11PM

I noticed this a long time ago. I should have sent feedback to apple, I will do so now.

It appears that in an effort to make a simple and clean dialog, they moved the keychain option off the main dialog and into the options dialog. I think this is REALLY bad for exactly the situation the poster describes. The user MUST be fully aware if their password is being saved or not. It can't be on a sub-dialog.

But for that matter, the whole GUI interface to connecting to servers needs major help in my opinion. This is most obvious when connecting to SMB servers where you don't even have an option of using the keychain. Also, Aliases to servers don't work properly. .DS_Store files are littered all over our NT Server at work. I want OS X to be the best computer for networking, but Apple has a ways to go yet.
