Public bug reported: User testing revealed that users expected that icon could be removed from the launcher by longpressing an item and dragging it out of the launcher.
One option would be having a trash bin appearing at the bottom of the Launcher (in the place normally occupied by the BFB) when a user drags and app icon off he launcher (or enters an edit mode to organize icons). The problem with this is that because user can also relocate an item in this mode dragging an item down to a trash bin causes item to go through all different dropping positions in the actual launcher as well. Therefore one possible option would be placing the thrash bin outside the launcher next to the item in question. ** Affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Medium Assignee: Vesa Rautiainen (vesar) Status: Triaged ** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Assignee: (unassigned) => Vesa Rautiainen (vesar) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368774 Title: [Launcher] Make it easier to remove an item from launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1368774/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
