(Just switched to +test it.) +Neither does the default Mandriva menu, which I usually use. (At least +not by default.) One problem with that feature is that it can be +difficult to know where to look for a particular app, because it won't +always be in the same place. But if there were a line separating recent +and others, and both groups were in alphabetical order, it would be +easier to find things. But I don't if know any menu system does that. +I don't know if Gnome uses a "Plus/More" menu, as the menu lists are +much shorter than the Mandriva menus. +(Partly because much is missing from the tools menus. But also the +icons are smaller, which is nice. Unfortunately some submenus aren't +translated.) + +Mandriva menus do use a "Plus" submenu. (called that in french.) +Previously sometimes has been used in a menu with only about 7 items, +but currently only appears in one menu approaching the bottom of the page. +(The overflow menu had one item, I removed one item from the parent, and +the overflow menu is still there with one item.) + +-- +André +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002812.html">[Mageia-dev] freedesktop spec and categories +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002813.html">[Mageia-dev] freedesktop spec and categories +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2815">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2815">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2815">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2815">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
