--- Comment #21 from Yannick <yb21...@yahoo.fr> --- My understanding is that ordering should be done in Entries page, I agree with Nate that is does more sense as it is the place where all items are shown, the one activated, deactived, showing/not showing. Konrad, you have very good questions. Either way looks good to me : - adding the "items ordering" options in general page (just like icons size option) with "default mode" and "manual mode", radio button or dropdownlist. - adding the checkbox in the Entries page aside the existing one, but for "manual ordering" option. In the Entries page : - In "default" mode, we shall keep the actual behavior. - In "manual" mode, at first time I suggest to have Notification icon at the top of the list and the other items sorted alphabetically. Then the user would change the order (drag-and-drop), and of course he could also move the Notification icon. In case the user deactivates the "manual" mode, nothing should be lost but kept in his preferences (stored settings). That way, in case the user would reactivate the mode, the items would be in the same order than previously. If possible, when "manual" mode is set, the system tray should be consistent/aligned with the order set by the user. That means the system tray would behave differently in "manual mode" than in "default mode". So, in "manual mode" it should not care of categories, but care of user's ordering only. In case any new icon/item appears, i think it should go at the last position. Then it is up to the user to rearrange it later. In case the manual mode was used at least once (settings stored) but deactivated, any new item/icon should also be added/recorded at the end of the manual ordering list. Adding items as first may annoy the user in case he doesn't care of that new item. Also, the more he gets new icons, the more his manual order would get changed/messed up. So adding items as last seems to be the best option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
