2012-12-12 14:33:28 John Lea description Watching a first time user using Ubuntu I noticed at min 12:50, that she tries to drag & drop the calculator icon to the launcher. It doesn't work, but I think it should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgGbZfR6Vec Being able to add programs to the launcher in different ways improves the UX for average users. For them an icon represents a program and being able to D&D it to the launcher is logical. Therefore this feature should be added. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: software-center 5.5.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.7.0-5.13-generic 3.7.0-rc8 Uname: Linux 3.7.0-5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.3-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Dec 9 00:19:14 2012 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-11-07 (31 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh SourcePackage: software-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Watching a first time user using Ubuntu I noticed at min 12:50, that she tries to drag & drop the calculator icon to the launcher. It doesn't work, but I think it should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgGbZfR6Vec Being able to add programs to the launcher in different ways improves the UX for average users. For them an icon represents a program and being able to D&D it to the launcher is logical. Therefore this feature should be added. --------------------------- Desired resolution: 1. Allow users to drag and drop app icons from the Software Centre to the Launcher. If the app is already installed but not pinned to the Launcher, this action pins the app icon to the Launcher. If the app is zero cost ($0) not yet installed, it is installed and pinned to the Launcher in the same manner that apps can be installed by dragging and dropping from the App Lens to the Launcher. If the app is a paid app, the user is taken to the purchase page in the Software Centre. When purchase is complete the app is pinned to the Launcher. 2. Dragging a item which is not a app (e.g. a pdf or a system liberty) does nothing. The Launcher should signal this to user by dimming; exactly the same interaction that happens currently if the user tries to drag a file from Nautilus to which has no valid drop targets in the launcher. 3. In all other ways, this interaction should be exactly the same as the interaction a user experiences when dragging a app icon to the Launcher from the Dash.
