[Bug 80256] Re: Synaptic package manager hard to find in Feisty gnome-control-center
I agree that 'System Control Center System Synaptic Package Man...' (the '...' is actually there, see bug #87619) is not an optimal way for users to find this _application_. I stress application because I regard it as more of an application than a system setting, which is what I expect to find in 'Control Center'. My suggestion is that 'Applications Add/Remove...' includes an button named 'Advanced' which open Synaptic. I believe this used to be the case. I will reopen this bug once, as I think it is a usability bug. ** Tags added: feisty usability ** Changed in: control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Rejected = Needs Info -- Synaptic package manager hard to find in Feisty gnome-control-center https://launchpad.net/bugs/80256 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Duncan, changing gnome-app-install is not a control-center bug. You might want to take that to a mail list, few people read bugs and will comment on launchpad. Note that feist will use the menu by default which fixes the problem ** Changed in: control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info = Rejected -- Synaptic package manager hard to find in Feisty gnome-control-center https://launchpad.net/bugs/80256 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Sebastian, I was just going to enter a long ranty bug report (as in usability issue) about the control-center, and while I was going to be nice about it I think it would just get closed right away. However I do like Ubuntu enough that I wouldn't really like to drop it. I don't like mailing lists for things where I just want to follow an issue, but I may try for this one. What do you think is a proper place to talk about it? It's not this issue in particular that's my problem; I've made myself a menu entry already. It's a bit more general, and it's going to be annoying to the developers no matter how nice I'll be about it... -- Synaptic package manager hard to find in Feisty gnome-control-center https://launchpad.net/bugs/80256 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The categories are work in progress at the moment (the next version of GNOME will fix the categories for a bunch of items and sort them differently). Marking the bug as rejected, few people read bugs, you should better discuss that topic on one of the ubuntu mailing-list, that's not really a bug, rather a design that could be done better ** Changed in: control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Confirmed = Rejected -- Synaptic package manager hard to find in Feisty gnome-control-center https://launchpad.net/bugs/80256 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
