If I understand well, the dash is a concept introduced in Unity, not necessarly bound to Nautilus. > Opening a full fledged window might be valid for operations like contact > editing or management, grouping, synchronizing and sorting... > For fast access, i would prefer a Contact menu that behaves just like an > indicator menu: > * appears (i.e. drops down) > * shows a list of activity-essential items (Me, my Contacts, a link to the > "dash") I'm not at all a business user, neither I have an incredible amount of friends yet my contact list easily carries more that two hundred entries. Surely I do _not_ want all those listed in a menu, but rather I want to have at hand a mechanism to filter them in order to find the one(s) I'm looking for. > The use case would be something like: > > Deborah wants to call her assistant Mike via VoIP. > Mike is pinned to her list of usual Contacts that always shows in the > Contact menu. > Deborah opens the category indicator for [social messaging] and moves the > mouse onto the voice call graphic next to Mike's name in the menu. > A call is mediated between the two of them, as she clicks, and the menu > vanishes, giving way to a voice call window. Again, contacts being in a "dash" (unity page) makes them fairly easy to reach and filter. Managing contact can still be done using a proper application like Evolution, tho.
