Feature changed by: Stephan Binner (Beineri) Feature #307488, revision 2 Title: Simplify Menus (More like Debian/Ubuntu) openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jason Fergus (jfergus) Description: I am always shocked at how sloppy the menus are in not only openSUSE, but Mandriva, etc. Most of them have the structure of Applications -> Internet -> Browsers -> Firefox If there is ONE entry under browswers, why have a sub menu? That's one more bit of waiting you have to do for the sub menu to open. Debian and Ubuntu both have it set up as Applications -> Internet -> Firefox. Makes far more sense that way. Now what would be nice is a programmatical way to have the menus create a sub menu if (and only if) the full menu starts to get too full, or there are at least 5 of an application 'type'. This obviously would require some things beyond just the distributions though, and instead would require some alterations to the freedesktop spec for creating menu entries. I do feel that this would help with some major frustrations of users who are thinking of switching. I seriously would have stayed with using openSUSE except for this issue (and the billion different repositories that are out there.) Please FIX THE MENUS! + Discussion: + #1: Stephan Binner (beineri) (2009-08-23 15:21:50) + You must be talking about GNOME as the KDE desktops to that on [open] + SUSE for ages. And it's also supposed to change for GNOME in openSUSE + 11.2 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529057). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307488
