David , the idea is good , but a more suitable label would be "Launch"
Mpt , the "Where is it?" button and its specs of having a secondary pointer show the way , though a nice idea , is an unnecessary complication of the whole process. - the idea of a second pointer popping up in the system sounds kinda creepy [IMO] and seems like something is overriding the system... - I think we are under-estimating the capacity of the users to locate the app and trying to spoon feed them too much :( The solution can be done either : After install , either: 1> only show the present idea ,of the pointer showing the directions, within the SS window as modal window, ie: user clicks the "Where is it" button and the modal window appears within the SS showing a gnome menu and the view follows the pointer to the location of the app. [almost like a screencast ] 2> once the view changes to the installed app , pop-up a dialogue which says where the app is installed and an option to launch the app from the window - the "Where is it" button , will show the Applications > ... > .... and the "Launch" option only on the first try... on the second time onwards the launch option is not shown and instead the text alone is shown. I also like the idea , you mentioned on the irc,of drawing rings around menu,submenu and waiting for the user to open the app. But this is a little similar to the Windows method... -- Installed apps: "where-to" and open button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
