Re: [Unity-design] Pin to Dash Option

I think a better solution would be for the launcher folders to open in the style of the quicklist pop-ups, so less mouse movement. It has to be quicker than searching or opening the dash or it would be pointless. On 25 May 2012 09:53, Christian Giordano wrote: > Hi, ... > > On Thu, May 24, 2012

Re: [Unity-design] Pin to Dash Option

I would like to +1 this, but maybe for a different reason than others: There are some apps, such as those written in Java, where pinning to the launcher doesn't work. When you click the pinned icon to launch it, it pulses for a while but nothing happens. Presumably it doesn't get the correct comma

Would this be the equivalent of pinning a folder to the launcher in OS X? Say, one could pin a group of apps or a folder of files to the launcher, and when clicked, it would open a custom lens or something of that sort in the dash, showing all of the files/apps that are pinned there. Using this sol
