Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
The only way I can find to add an app launcher to the global menu is to
launch the app, grab it's global icon, drag it out of the menu area and
then drop it at a new location in the global menu.
For me, this was the last option to try and took me about 25minutes to
figure out. It consists of stringing together 4 different cognitive UI
actions.
My intuitions, in order, were:
-Right click on empty space in menu and expect 'add application' dialogue
followed by a handy list
-Browse for app in aplication menu and drag it to the gobal menu
-Browse for app in application menu, right click on it and select 'add to
global menu'
-Open app and right click on it's Global icon followed by menu item offering to
'add this to menu'
I admit that I may be tainted by my experience with various other UI's,
but feel that it is a bug that the Unity global menu has only one (and
in my opinion) complicate methodology for what is probably one of the
first things a new user will try and do.
