manny, the help probably should be easier to find, but it's not "the
root problem" for anything. Gordon Meyer's "Help is the last resort" is
a good explanation of this.

[manny]

I heartily disagree with yet another icon is going to solve the Root of
the problem.

People cant find even the most basic things because the Root problem is
that there is no visible user guide / tutorial / help  that the user can
consult each time he needs it:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/860501

if they have problems finding the settings is because they also have
problems finding everything else...

"Why give a hungry man 1 fish that is going to feed him for a day, when
you can teach him how to fish and feed him for a lifetime ?"

why dont you guys apply "usability testing" to the Help in ubuntu
instead ?

The only thing we can (easily) implement is "this change only applies to
fresh user accounts". I suppose that's what you actually mean, just
wanted to point it out.

I suppose the quicklist isn't really a dealbreaker here, at least not
for oneiric? The duplicate ubuntuone icon is being fixed, and then
there's just four rows of icons in three categories, so it's not exactly
crowded.

@pitti; yes, this change only applies for fresh user accounts.

** Description changed:

  In usability testing, participants didn't find the system settings.

  Desired solution:
  - Add a 'system settings' icon to the launcher. This icon should be present 
in the launcher by default after a fresh install.
- - Add a launcher quicklist that links to  Personal, Hardware, and System 
setting categories.
+ - Add a launcher quicklist that links to  Personal, Hardware, and System 
setting categories (this change is optional for 11.10)
  - The 'System Settings' launcher icon should be positioned directly above the

[Bug 764744] Re: [UIFe] Add system setting icon to Launcher

[Didier Roche]

@John: this Quicklist then can't be done then for this cycle, gnome-
control-center doesn't allow scrolling or just showing one category. We
can only show directy some capplet (like the "User Accounts" items), but
not that and this kind of code change is risky 3 days from hard freeze.

In addition to this the window being pretty small and so, autoscrolling
to the right category doesn't seem needed?

Charline, the "Add a launcher quicklist that links to Personal, Internet
and Network, Hardware, System and Other setting categories." isn't very
clear and doesn't map with what is contained in gnome-control-center in
Oneiric.

There are categories containing those names, but not element in it. I
can maybe map "Personal" to "User Accounts", and "Hardware" to
"Additional drivers", but I can't find anything mapping directly to the
other items on the Quicklist. Can you please be more precise and
directly name elements in gnome-control-center? Thanks.

[Bug 764744] Re: [UIFe] Add system setting icon to Launcher

[Matthew East]

Just to be clear, the only approval that the docteam has given to this
is to add an icon to the launcher. If, as appears to be proposed, the
system settings icon is also *removed* from the session menu, it seems
to me that this will break every piece of documentation that refers to
system settings. I haven't checked but I would assume that there are a
lot of these and therefore we can't agree to this at this late stage in
the release cycle.

This comment might be redundant in circumstances where the release team
has rejected the UIFE but I thought it was worth clarifying anyway.

[Bug 764744] Re: [UIFe] Add system setting icon to Launcher

[Jeremy Bicha]

I think the User Testing in this case is wrong or points to a misleading
result. System Settings is quite a bit more discoverable in Ubuntu 11.10
than it was in 11.04. Here are several different ways of launching it:

1. At the bottom of most indicators is a button like "Sound Settings" which 
opens System Settings to the Sound panel with a button in the toolbar for All 
Settings.
2. Searching in the Dash also works well (Type in "Mouse" for instance).
3. And of course System Settings in the System Menu (now with an extra gear 
subicon)

Off-topic rant: the default launcher icons aren't all that useful. I
complained about Ubuntu One being there in the very quickly closed bug
775251. And while it's nice to see that Ubuntu can open spreadsheets and
PowerPoint presentations, most people don't do that very often.

That is to say, I object to making such changes at this point, as it

[Bug 764744] Re: [UIFe] Add system setting icon to Launcher

[Martin Pitt]

Please keep in mind that space on the launcher is very limited and thus
precious. On a netbook screen it is already full right now, so if we add
this now, there will be another icon which will fold away. I think this
would be an abuse, the launcher is meant to switch between running apps
and launch often used ones, we should not use it to work around hard to
find programs. Why can't we put it into the dash instead, similar to the
lenses?

Seconding Milo's concerns, it would be great to have more info on the
exact strings this change would affect, so that we can ensure they can
be translated in time and be thus usable for non-English speakers.

Also, pretty please with cherry on top: it would be great to stick to
the process¹ and send a short e-mail to the ubuntu-translators and
ubuntu-doc mailing lists for UI freeze exception requests.

Thanks!

[Bug 764744] Re: [UIFe] Add system setting icon to Launcher

[Milo Casagrande]

Hello,

from a translator point of view, not expressing the Translators Team
will: how many translatable strings will this patch add? And, when is
the expected deadline for translating those strings?

Since it will have a visual impact on users, it is necessary those are
translated in time for being included: are those strings part of the
non-langpack deadline? If so, that means translators will have more ore
less 10 days if the patch is ready and the new strings are imported in a
really fast way (the translation queue in this period can be quite busy,
but we might monitor it and approve the template to speed it up).

Just to have a better idea of the impact and the time-table we could
face.

Thank you for your attention.
Ciao.
