GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 729055
Use application launcher's Actions in gnome-shell
Last modified: 2014-04-27 14:09:02 UTC
I wasn't sure how to formulate this: when we right-click on the launchers, the only options we have is the list of opened windows, "Open a new window" and "remove from / add to favorites". There are plenty of options that should be present there, like "compose new message", "contacts" for mail clients, "open new private window" for browsers, etc. These are actually already set in the application launchers. If we open menulibre we can see them in the Actions tabs. Gnome-shell fails to render those actions in the launcher. UI would be improved by doing so. Unity and KDE already offer this.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 669603 ***
