Bug ID: 399967
Summary: Application launcher's Computer tab should separate
its Places section from Dolphin's sidebar
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: tyson...@mail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Right now Application launcher's Computer tab is using information from
Dolphin's sidebar for its Places section. I suggest we change that by making
the two independent.
Reasons:
1) Changing Dolphin's sidebar affects something else outside of it. This is not
something a normal user would expect.
2) It gives the impression of an unreliable Application Launcher. Because the
user never changed anything in Application Launcher and yet it "changes
itself".
3) Dolphin has more vertical space in its sidebar. Naturally it can display
more, or we can even say it MUST display more, otherwise it looks uncomfortably
barren;
4) Application Launcher's Computer tab has so little vertical space, with 3
slots already occupied by System Applications. We cannot display a lot items on
it, otherwise it forces the whole thing to scroll around. It doesn't look very
tidy nor reliable like that.
5) By making Dolphin's sidebar and Application Launcher's Computer tab being
managed separately, we can fine-tune items being shown for each of them. They
are very different beasts and I suggest we treat them differently.
Thank you!
