Re: [opensuse-gnome] nobody likes the application-browser...

Hello Alberto,
thanks for your nice words about the mockups, but ultimately mockups are
easy to do. Actually I don't think at all that they have been ignored,
but employed developers can hardly decide by themselves what they work
on. I hope I have come up with one or two ideas that some developer
remembers when the time comes to re-work the main-menu. (BTW, here's
another mockup that uses as little screen-estate as the Eee-PC menu:

What I'm really about now is that the application-browser could be made
more user-friendly by (hopefully) quite simple alterations. If at least
tabs could be implemented, users would probably work more efficiently -
less visible icons, less need to scroll.
Thanks again.
Greets,
Chris

Hello :-)
Regular complaints about the application-browser are:
1) it is not GNOME standard
2) application-browser start-up time is too long
3) finding applications in app-browser is cumbersome
I still think your proposals
( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=274817 ) were at least
interesting, and were just ignored a bit too easily, without considering
them seriously.
I'm not sure you're interested in it, but you might try to reopen the
bug report and discuss these things on the GNOME IRC channel
#opensuse-gnome at Freenode.
I hope you'll succeed.
Alberto
