[Bug 252806] New: New main-menu and features
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252806 Summary: New main-menu and features Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alberto.passalacqua@tin.it QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: anna@novell.com I recently tried the new SLED SP1 menu through the patch released in bug #229190. I think there are two steps back respect to the older version: - The Hard Drive button doesn't show the resources, but opens Nautilus in /home. - More places opens /home. I expected it to open Computer, where all places are shown. Opening /home is just redundant: it's in other two places plus the above one. Is it really necessary to have 2 (1 in favourite + 1 in places) + 2 (Hard drive + More places) ways to open /home in a menu? I really don't think this improves usability or is what users expect. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252806 ------- Comment #2 from christian.jaeger@rub.de 2007-03-16 12:11 MST ------- Apart from the problem of the menu growing with the number of Nautilus bookmarks (see link above), it also isn't possible to add new favorites other than by dragging recently used applications (no context-menu option), and it also is impossible to remove favorite applications. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252806 ------- Comment #3 from cduquette@gmail.com 2007-03-16 13:24 MST ------- I think too much space is being wasted on the right hand side of the menu (where Help, Control Center, Install Software, etc. are) because of the increase of icons on the left. We now have another row of recently used applications which expands the menu by 32-pixels plus padding. I'd say the solution is to remove the new row of icons or add more things to the right hand side of the menu. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252806 ------- Comment #4 from christian.jaeger@rub.de 2007-03-18 14:53 MST ------- I think this space could be very sensibly used; the font-size and the icons in the system area are much, much too small! One has too look twice to spot the logout-button (which, by the way, doesn't look nice). Also, the status information could be a bit more verbose. For example the 'free diskspace' displayed doesn't tell me anything right now because it shows the combined free space on all of my partitions. So I still can be surprised by running out of free space. Please list free space for each partition separately; well for each partition that can be displayed without the menu growing... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
