Package: plinth
Version: 0.14.0+ds-1
Severity: wishlist

The current Plinth configuration options for storage management are
confusing.  The 'Disks' And 'Snapshots' tabs are to a great extend talking
about the same underlying storage device, but it is not obvious when
looking at the 'Disks' status that the 'Snapshots' tab is relevant.  It
does not help that the icon for the snapshot tab is a movie frame.

To make it easier to understand for new users, I suggest to rename
'Disks' and 'Snapshot' to 'Storage' and 'Storage Snapshots', making them
appear next to each other in the menu.  This might help with
translations too.

More long term, I suggest to merge the two tabs into one, showing both
the storage fill rate and the available snapshots.
