On the one hand, I would suggest that having them in Dash at all is overkill as they already exist in Applications Place, however, I could also agree that the above breaks them down nicely as well. I would be completely happy with that breakdown, though I'd also prefer that the last bit (available apps) be an option that can be turned off based on personal preference, as I already know I can click Applications and find things via software center that I search for, so personally, I don't need them elsewhere... (though I also recognize that what 'I' prefer is not necessarily what works for the community at large) But in any case, this certainly seems like a good end-game for this particular issue. -- Jeff Lane - Hardware Certification Engineer and Test Tools Developer Ubuntu Ham: W4KDH Freenode IRC: bladernr or bladernr_ gpg: 1024D/3A14B2DD 8C88 B076 0DD7 B404 1417 C466 4ABD 3635 3A14 B2DD -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733669 Title: Dash: installed/not installed packages are conflated under "Applications": incredibly confusing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
