OK, you make a good point. The GNOME developers should consider adding useful functionality that once worked well and was taken away for no apparent good reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https:/

I figured out how make launchers by simply writing *.desktop files. I now have about 6 custom launchers that I use everyday. It is convenient for some of them to be on the panel and some on the desktop and some in other directories based on their context. How could the developers know how I nee

I don't quite get it: The panel is definitely a /consumer/ of launchers (because you need them to do anything usefrul with it). But, with removing the last /producer/ there is no longer a convenient way to create them - You all seem to be expecting every single program will provide application lau

So there's no currently obvious way to edit launchers and this doesn't seem odd to the devs and release managers? Jumping to Unity before this kind of basic functionality is in place has pointlessly added to the change shock frustration, and makes me even less well disposed to having the change im

This change is really bad... I have seen so many complaints about it on the Internet. What's wrong with having a way to create a custom .desktop launchers easily? There just needs to be something to replace this feature. I have seen there is a project to edit the Launcher but there also needs to

Could people stop adding comments there?
