Bug Description
Can this be made to imitate gnome classic menu, automatically?
Thank you.
I'll look into creating a "super drawer" that will actively reflect registered applications and categorize them based on standard categories into sub-drawers. However, this is a bit more involved than the current implementation. For now, you can create drawers with applications in a category, then group all those drawers into one "Parent" drawer by adding their launchers to it via the dash or nautilus (they're stored in ~/.local/

Hi,
Are you willing to test the new drawer that mimics the Gnome Classic Menu? To do so, please do the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ian- berke/testing
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install drawers
To create the new drawer, just run the drawers creation dialog and choose "Create AppMenu Drawer". The newly created drawer will be added to your launcher bar. You can create individual drawers for a certain category directly from that drawer (just right click the category and choose the option, or right click an item when in that category and choose create drawer here). To edit the contents, you'll have to use alacarte, menulibre or some other xdg-menu editing software. At some point in the future I hope to make it editable by drag-n-drop and dialogs.
Please post any feedback you have here in this bug report (#1105216).
Best,
Ian
