i love it, it's true that the menu item gets overlooked by newbies, because it's inbetween "difficult stuff" i think it would actually help redhat a lot to simplify the menu's (getting rid of "extra's" was only a minor step foward). A switching user just doesn't fathom why some packages are in the "more" submenu, and i don't really see any point in it either. It would be very nice to group them in another sense, as proposed by the OP. in the main menu put a folder, with subfolders based on relation (not some apps, and more apps) something like Settings and tools --- Preferences --- System Settings --- System Tools Multimedia --- Sound --- Video --- Graphics would make a lot more sense IMHO Comments noted. This isn't really something that can be resolved one menu folder at a time in abstract discussion; the current layout involves a global plan and user testing. So the bug is just "rework menus", that is a planned future project, but I don't want to keep bugs open for each individual possible change, as it is one global task. |
Description of problem: Two minor nits: (1) I think the Gnome menu entry entitled "Sound & Video" should be renamed "Multimedia". I think it gets lost in between "Programming" and "System Settings." (2) I think the current "Preferences", "System Settings" and "System Tools" menu entries should be combined into one "Settings and Tools". Then, within that you could have a submenu entitled "User Preferences", another entitled "System Settings" and a third entitled "Tools and Utilities". Or something like that. I think "System Settings" and "System Tools" sound too much alike and I can never remember what is in which one.
