Bilal, to expand on your previous example: Firefox should provide ONE .desktop file, then have quicklist items for the Private Browsing and Safe Mode items. In that case, those items should be searchable in Unity/Synapse/Slingshot. It'd prevent having multiple listings for the same app while also utilizing an already- present method of exposing apps' features to Unity.
** Description changed: There's currently a trend of application developers to provide multiple .desktops for their apps in order to get to different parts of the app (for example private browsing in a web browser). One possible way to - fulfill that need without having multiple .desktops littered around + fulfill that need without needing multiple .desktops littered around would be to have popular search-based launchers also search through quicklist items in a .desktop. In this way, power users who need quick access to those other functions can have them without littering menus or grids with extra icons. + + It's also important to note that many apps already use Quicklist items + this way (as that's the designed use); adding the ability to search them + would be an improvement to everyone as it'd expose those quicklist items + via keyboard rather than requiring users to right-click on the launcher + item. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888776 Title: search quicklist items To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/888776/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
