Hey, thanks all for the productive discussion so far, as some know I'm more for the con-side, but I really want to have the CLI apps available in a easy away, so I think we can reach a intermediate solution here.
Based in your feedback, here are the best solutions in my opinion, let's try to reach a good solution that can make both sides happy: 1 - Modify the HAM code in order to add some kind of switcher for the CLI apps - Very good solution IMO, but very hard to accomplish in the short term. 2 - All Cli apps should use the same app icon - Seems good to me, the regular users will learn and the power users will be happy to have all these apps available. 3 - All CLI app should have a default sentence in his description, that clearly states that the app is only usable from the command line (no icon, no GUI) - Most of the users will not read the descriptions, but if they complain about it, is their fault because the notice is there :P . A similar sentence should be also used in the enablers (OGG support,..). I think 2 & 3 is perfectly doable in the short term and perhaps can make both sides happy. Thoughts ?
