alacarte screenshot old vs new (143.35 KB, image/png)

Description Michael Biebl 2012-06-05 00:19:23 UTC 
Version: 0.13.4

Since the latest version, it is no longer possible to edit the top level folders. E.g. you can no longer hide/modify folders like Games, Internet, Office...
This is a regression from 0.13.2

This is actually a bug in the old code -- it tried to set_sensitive(False) on all buttons when you selected a menu item, but a typo prevented that code from ever being reached. Wonderful.

Unfortunately, it's hard to use this kind of UI with two separate controls and properties buttons for both. Should we prefer the item or the menu when you click on "Properties"?

alacarte screenshot old vs new

Attached is a screenshot comparing the old and new interface of alacarte.

I like the old way better as it is less cluttered and having the "Applications" root it is simple to enable/disable the toplevel folders

Ah, OK. I didn't even see notice that. It is a regression, then.
