We can use the bug to track that. I think there could be apropriate configuration options in Kickoff configuration window. Nesting folders is very useful, for example one user (like myself) has many "junk" applications, which aren't "big" programs, but rather small utilities, like Bluetooth assistant, KColorChooser, KRuler, vprerex, UXTerm, ImageMagick, which register their entries in menu, but user never launches them from menu. For some reasons though the user doesn't want to remove those entries of small utilities from menu, but wants to store them in folder "Others" nested in apropriate category. The user can then hide those utilities from "big" applications, like OBS Studio, Strawberry, LibreOffice Writer or Kid3. Listing applications in order specified by user instead of alphabetical order is also useful when user wants some programs to be on top. For example I like to order programs of similar purpose near each other. In Multimedia category for example my order of applications is as follows: Strawberry -> Yarock -> Elisa -> Kid3 -> VLC media player -> mpv -> Subtitle Composer -> OBS Studio -> vokoscreenNG -> Handbrake -> K3b. As you can see, this order resembles closely such groups of programs: audio players -> tag editors -> multimedia players -> subtitle editors -> recording software -> multimedia converters -> disk burning software. That's the reason the user wouldn't want their programs be listed in alphabetical order. Conclusion. Please make configuration options for various types of users instead of hard-coding particular behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
