[Closed - Duplicate] Simpler shutdown - honor people's time

[n8c]

Problem/Justification

I hate unnecessary clicks with a passion.

In context of the whole world, you are generating an immense waste of personal time for folks.

Impact
Every user that wants to shutdown the NAS via GUI saves several clicks per shutdown.

This adds up to immense timesavings for the whole world.

User Story
Currently, I have found no way to better configure the shutdown experience to my needs.

My usage is “mainly backup box, rarely Jellyfin box”. So the thing is usually powered on on Sunday evenings, backups run, it powers back down.

Every time I do that, I am forced to handle SEVERAL unnecessary clicks.

1. Select shutdown
2. Select shutdown
   1. There is enough space at the top right… why not make Restart and Shutdown two separate buttons that directly call the function???
3. Click the reason dropdown
4. Click a reason (idgaf, seriously, I just want to shut down)
5. Confirm
6. Confirm AGAIN (“Shutdown” at the very end)

Dude. This whole thing should be configurable to be ONE click

I looked around in the settings, didn’t find anything (FAQs as well), should I have overlooked it simply let me know.

Otherwise, I highly request giving control of people’s time back to the users. This stuff adds up. Small, unnecessary inconveniences like this - where 83% of the required clicks can be omitted - multiplied by the userbase using the GUI. Woooowwww the time gain (and reduction of “why tf is this so complicated”).

I get the KPI idea behind this, but in reality you are just forcing people to select some random crap because nobody cares = the KPI is useless.

I’m not opposed to a safe default where people need to actually confirm what they’re doing. That’s exactly the good middleground a default config should be built like. Yet I’m very much questioning this many clicks for people that know what they’re doing.

= I would like this to be configurable. How extensive you’d like to offer that I leave to you. E.g. there’s of course an argument to be made that adding a separate config element for each list item I mentioned above brings its own clutter problems, so maybe the “make faster” thingy would be a single thing that adjusts all these at once.

Cheers

• Click the reason dropdown

The reason dropdown is gone from CE. Which version are you using?

[Accepted][25.10] Shutdown Reason - Slightly different from the first linked request

First I’d like to say that I doubt this will be incorporated however I am curious how many people would actually appreciate this recommended change. @Whiskydrinker submitted a similar Feature Request which got me thinking, which can be a terrible thing. Watch Out! Joe’s on a rampage. Problem/Justification Always being asked to supply a reason for a shutdown/restart. What I’m trying to solve it the little bit of irritation that goes along with having to locate and select a reason before the T…

Good hint!

Still 4 clicks, but better!

I always give releases a few days anyway (it’s a non-internet device after all, completely fine), but wasn’t aware I need to actively point it to a new branch (expected an info popup at some point).

So still a few clicks to save, but better than before
(Shutdown, again Shutdown, Confirm, again “Confirm”)

Is it gone or off by default?

It’s gone completely in CE 25.10, present only in Enterprise. But they forgot to remove it from the console menu in CE.

Closing as duplicate, already addressed in 25.10, confirmation to shut down will remain we do not have plans to remove that at this time.
