Applications should be grouped by category

[David Tomaschik]

On my Natty daily, the Applications are not grouped together by category (Internet, Office, Graphics, etc.). This makes finding applications difficult when you have large number. If this is by design, this is a bad design.

I've attached a picture showing that I only have "Most used" and "Installed".

This issue have been fixed as now there is a drop down to switch between categories.

I see no such drop-down in the version of Unity included with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty). As far as I know, the only way to see applications grouped by meaningful categories may be to right-click the Applications dash button (I've not been able to test this yet).

Bug #762926 discusses the same issue I think.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

why did you re-open this bug when there is a similar bug present already?

[Ben Shadwick (benshadwick)]

Because I don't believe that this one should have been closed in the first place.

The other one should probably be marked as a duplicate of this one, but I am afraid to do that in case someone decides to close this one again.

I made a mock up of a more menu-like app lens http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/appmenu.ogv does this look like what you want?
