Start-Programs-Adobe-Photoshop v.x-Photoshop How is one supposed to know to look under Adobe for Photoshop? Why isn't it under Graphics or Photo Editors or some such menu? After the application is installed, a bubble notification guides you to the newly installed program by highlighting the path in the start menu. This part would be nice to see in our DE's.

This part would be nice to see in our DE's. This enhancement would be nice, but I'm sure you'll agree it's in no way comparable to having sane menus in the first place. It's great the first time you install something but what about an application you use only once in a great while? The second time you need it the highlighting will be long gone, and yet you can't remember where in the heck that program went to! Of course, I agree with you. When using Windows, I have to use an equivalent of GnomeDo (Alt-F2 for KDE4 guys). -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
