cwo <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from cwo <[email protected]> --- We don't include options just to have more options, but because they provide a meaningful benefit to users. Each option has a cost, as it makes both user interface and implementation more complicated. So the feature/option has to be meaningful enough to be worth that cost. With Icons-and-Text task managers, the unopened launcher looks very different from an opened one, as one is an icon and the other is a button-like thing with icons and text. Here, the option somewhat makes sense: if launchers are kept separate, you have first all unopened launchers, then the open ones. This is a bit easier to understand than having the different types mixed, but means that the order of pinned things may change as you open and close them. If you don't keep them separate, you get a consistent order as you open and close pinned launchers, but have very different visual presentations mixed together. With the Icons-Only task manager, this is largely not a problem, as the launcher is presented in fundamentally the same way whether it's opened or closed (there is a bit of a change in the background though to indicate whether it's opened or not). So you would need to show some clear, meaningful benefit to this option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
