Description
Hi,
Lightpad is a lovely looking app-menu. But DE don't really lack of app-menu.
Whereas they almost all lack of a one-place, easy to reach, access to many recent activities.
What do I mean here by activities ?
⋅ recently used files,
⋅ recently visited folders,
⋅ recently used app's ( ideally only those not already pinned into a dock or a panel )
Those recent/frequent things may be followed through tracker.
On the same layout I'd see something like
⋅ 2 first lines for files,
⋅ 3rd line for folders
⋅ last line for app's
⋅ first page for the most recent, last page for the oldest
User should have the ability to
⋅ set the default view of lightpad on app-menu or recent-activities
⋅ switch between those two types of view ( click on an icon or keyboard shortcut ),
⋅ set the span time for recent activities ( last x hours or days with a reasonable maximum, 23h/31d )
⋅ purge that recent-activity view,
⋅ set a blacklist of app's not to show in recent view if this can't be retrieved automatically from docks or panels-applets.
Well, that sounds like a huge amount of work. But it would give lightpad a set of very distinctive features none others offer ;-)
