Actually, you can tell the system not to list items from particular folders. So all you would need to do is store all of these files in a particular folder, and then none of the activity on them will be recorded. This is in the privacy settings in System Settings. This prompts if maybe the privacy

I agree. And really its right that we should stick to the topic at hand. Its easy to get caught up in discussions like this but if I were to bring some insight to the table, i'd say that the last email was right about those concepts being religious traditions and not the teachings of christianity,

Re: [Unity-design] Pinning to the launcher more precisely than the application level

2012-05-12 Thread shane lee
Yeah I know chromium CAN make application shortcuts but making a shortcut on the desktop then physically moving it and then dragging it to the desktop isn't exactly ideal. Even when you do, the icons are horribly scaled and look a mess. I doubt there would be any work on making this happen (with c

It makes sense to me and there are times when I have wanted to pin a document to the launcher that I'm working on. More than anything, I would love to be able to drag a tab from chromium to the launcher and it would turn it into a web app or something. On 12 May 2012 22:34, Alex Smith wrote: >

So, I have a Big Idea about how to improve Unity, but it'll be a lot of work to implement, so I'd like feedback on the idea, and whether it makes sense or not. (There's a tl;dr lower down, if you don't feel like reading this entire long email.) First, I'd like to explain the rationale for the chan

Please stop with this non sens. Religion ist not something we could discuss here. There is no way a muslim / traditionalist / buddha / indian / ... will accept to loose its tradition to accept someone's else tradition. It is cultural thing. This is the path to colonies / slavery.

I don't really understand the importance of the close button in the corner really. By default, not all windows open maximized (I'm not even sure any do) and users may maximize a web browser or email client or office app but not so likely for lesser used apps such as a terminal or system settings (i
