Ah, OK. You had me confused for a moment with all those menu's, especially since "global menu" is oftenused to describe the application-menu-when-displayed-in-the-panel.
Yes, what you thought should happen, should happen :-) Mark ** Summary changed: - Adding launcher to Global Menu is not intuative + Adding application to launcher from Apps Place is not intuative ** Summary changed: - Adding application to launcher from Apps Place is not intuative + Adding application to launcher from Apps Place is not intuitive ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: unity - The only way I can find to add an app launcher to the global menu is to - launch the app, grab it's global icon, drag it out of the menu area and - then drop it at a new location in the global menu. - - For me, this was the last option to try and took me about 25minutes to - figure out. It consists of stringing together 4 different cognitive UI - actions. - - My intuitions, in order, were: - -Right click on empty space in menu and expect 'add application' dialogue followed by a handy list - -Browse for app in aplication menu and drag it to the gobal menu - -Browse for app in application menu, right click on it and select 'add to global menu' - -Open app and right click on it's Global icon followed by menu item offering to 'add this to menu' - - I admit that I may be tainted by my experience with various other UI's, - but feel that it is a bug that the Unity global menu has only one (and - in my opinion) complicate methodology for what is probably one of the - first things a new user will try and do. - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 - Package: unity 0.2.36-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-20.29-generic 2.6.35.4 - Uname: Linux 2.6.35-20-generic i686 - NonfreeKernelModules: wl - Architecture: i386 - Date: Fri Sep 10 16:24:25 2010 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Netbook 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta i386 (20100902.1) - ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_IE.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: unity + Apps listed in the Dash (Applications Place, or elsewhere) should be draggable straight to the Launcher. In addition, a context menu on such an app icon should have a "Show in Launcher" option which installs it in the Launcher. -- Adding application to launcher from Apps Place is not intuitive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635033 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
