I think that you replied a little hastily, and didn't get as far as my last paragraph. I'll say it again: Will this suit everyone? Of course not - it doesn't suit me. It certainly wont suit many of the people in this thread. If this is any guide then many current users seem to want something in 4.0 For that reason I think it's worthwhile spending some time on reinstating something like the old Manager in 4.0. I've started on this focussing on the "display" side of the current Manager, rather than the function side that some people seem to want to enhance. Let's see how we get on. I think that the Manager (and the Menu system) focusses too much attention on the HOW of Qubes, both in 3.2 and 4. But other people dont share this view, and want to have something like the old Manager. As Marek has said they would consider including something like that in 4.0, it's worth seeing what can be done. That is one reason why I asked which 2 features should be retained - only a few people have actually answered that question, as far as I can see. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
