About the dock item usage, we must take into consideration that at the moment only developers who already are used to using Launchpad have tried daily builds and they may prefer to report them directly. Dock item usage could raise once we release the beta. Anyhow, I'm personally neither

A superb idea. There's no need to include menus where none are needed, especially for simple applications like Eidete. I do think that the context menus in the dock can be pruned as well. There's no need for window controls in the dock, and some simple menu items could be included without making

@Dan, it makes sense to separate the two for two reason: 1. If I wanna start Files with root privileges or Midori in a private session is quite handy to have them in the quicklist, it's acutally what it's there for. It's a lot of useless user interaction to start the program and launch

I don't disagree with your 1st point. I really dislike the dual .desktop thing Midori is currently doing and having root shortcuts is probably a good work-around while we don't implement policy kit (which is probably the proper way to do it.) I do disagree with the second point though. I'm not

I really don't like the idea of adding app-related things in Switchboard. It should only be for system settings IMO. But you're right, it's not for users. It's mainly for developers, support techs, testers, translators, etc. On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 11:11 AM, Lucas Baudin xapa...@gmail.com wrote:

Andrea, The dockitem is the app, as far as I'm concerned. If the user wants to know more about that app, they can right-click the app and click about. I think it's a great place to put this relatively universal item since it doesn't have anything to do with the screen the user is looking at, but

Cody, I think we want (and need) them to exist for a variety of reasons. First of all, there are potential legal requirements for the licenses that we have to display. Second, we need a place for version numbers for support people and developers. And lastly, it provides information about the app

I that's more about how Slingshot works as a launcher than the implementation method. In this case, Slingshot should be aware of QuickList items (such as Midori's Private mode). I don't think having two .desktops is the proper way to get the desired result. Personally, I don't care about how ours
