Organize programs in folders in dashboard

[Erik Pürschel]

Sorry but it is very annoying that I am not allowed to copy programs to the dashboard.
I cant copy programs to folders I want to place as toolboxes om the dashboard to ease the use of functional programs.
The left program starter is filled with too many programs.
Games I would like to store in a game folder.
EVD handling in another
Writing in it own and so forth.

But I am not allowed to get information about "/" so that a copy operation can be done.
The same malfunction exists in 14.04

I am VERY SAD about this. It worked fine in my 12.04 instalation.

I have seen this described somewhere a while ago - cant remember where. Hoped it would be fixed - but not until now.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Apparently you used the "problem with storage device" bug reporting symptom, but what you are talking about is the organization of applications in the unity shell. I'm fairly sure that the Unity designers will call this a "won't fix", as it's not intended to add arbitrary categories. However, note that you can browse by category (including "Games") with the "Filter..." functionality in the dashboard's top right.
