Thinking about the unintuitiveness of the "Used/Free" bars on the Main page
Someone on Reddit showed me how to do it: settings>display settings>used/free columns>select "Bar (color) - text">apply Basically make sure you have "bar-text" and not "text-bar" set. This inverts the way the bars are displayed. Text - Bar (color) looks like this: Bar (color) - Text looks like this:

Thinking about the unintuitiveness of the "Used/Free" bars on the Main page
I wish the green "Used/Free" bars showed usage instead of free space. I have to consciously interpret them every time I look at them. It sees like it would make more sense to show usage, so that they get higher as the disk fills up. The existing metaphor is akin to a gas tank—but in the case of a gas tank, full is what you want. Most interfaces for disk usage that I've seen indicate it in the sense of usage, where full is NOT what you want. Further, the green bars don't aren't proportional—a full bar on a 1TB drive is the same size and length as the one on a 10TB drive, so they don't really give you any idea of actual free space on quick examination. If they were to show how close a disk is to being full (and turn red when close) they'd be more useful (to me, at least). As if to support this point, on the Dashboard, all the bars under Processor and System are "good" when they're low, and "bad" (red) when they're high. Just my opinion, but I would be interested to hear yours.

Best practices for location and permissions of "Docker" and "Appdata" directories?
I currently have my Docker directory set to /mnt/user/docker/ and the default appdata storage location set to /mnt/user/appdata. I then have the shares set up to use the cache only. My issue is that Duplicacy backs up everything fine except for the /mnt/user/docker, where it has no privileges since that directory's ownership is root:root and the rest are nobody:users. The other day I CHMODded /mnt/user/docker to 777 and then the backup worked fine. Today somehow permissions are back to 710 (I noticed because Duplicacy failed). BTW, I noticed when I did that CHMOD it took quite a long time and was wondering if that was due to some inefficiency caused by using the /mnt/user/docker route instead of going directly to /mnt/cache/docker and which is better. What would be the best way to enable Duplicacy to back up the Docker directory without permissions issues, and should I change the Docker settings to /mnt/cache/docker and /mnt/cache/appdata instead of where they are now? Thanks

Dashboard showing unusual docker usage
Yes, it was that. Thanks. It was the cache drive getting close to full. I invoked the mover and it cleared up. The UI implies Docker itself is using most of its space.
