Wishlist: add a means to edit quicklist display order and or which shortcuts to display

[Doug McMahon]

While users can certainly do either themselves by editing the modded or created .desktop's X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts= line, it could be a useful addition.
This would allow users to adjust the quicklist's display order or if desired keep a shortcut group(s) in the .desktop file but atm not be displayed

[Laudeci Oliveira (laudeci)]

The order can be done but the not displayed thing depends on unity's
quicklist implementation. For now I am not aware of any way to do that on
the .desktop file for unity.

The 'displayed' is simply removing an entry from X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts= line
I guess not really a terribly useful thing, though here have done from time to time

Ex. - I may have 10 shortcut groups in a ' Utility' .desktop, but decide for the moment i'm only using 7 of them from the quicklist.
Rather than remove the [WhatEver Shortcut Group] entries themselves, just removing WhatEver from X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts= line removes WhatEver from the icon quicklist
It can be restored by just adding back to X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts= in the desired position

I'm not aware of any issue from having 'non-displayed' Shortcut Group 's in a .desktop. (though I'm sure there are many things I'm not aware of

[Laudeci Oliveira (laudeci)]

Indeed ut looks like a good solution to me, I'll try to implement it soon.
