apps-menu: Respect user's favorite apps order (1.23 KB, patch)

Description Alejandro HC 2013-07-15 13:08:25 UTC
If we understand that the dash, in the overview is the only way to add favorites to the applications menu in classic session, the order is not maintained, in the applications menu, favorites order is descending alphabetical.

I think the order should be the same as in the dash, because favorites involves "the most used applications by the user", and therefore, the same user commands such favorites in order of use. For example, I attempt first a gnome-terminal in the dash, but in the application menu, the gnome-terminal is the last on my list.

Would be interesting to add an option to set favorite apps in gnome-tweak-tool.

Here is a patch. I stopped reordering the favorite apps by their name. Please review it

The patch is correct, if we want to integrate the suggestion.
Let's hear the designers...

Not going to get design review here, I'm afraid.
The change makes sense to me, anyway.

Thanks. I've committed it with two approvals from the release-team.

Could anyone close this ticket? I don't have permission to change the status.
Thanks in advance.
