In the current situation where you have to edit xml files manually to edit the menus I guess the "most users dont edit the menu" stands pretty well :-/ > > Again, I don't think most users are going to want to spend time > > evaluating various applications. > > Ok - so I have to ask - how many user interactions have y'all had? > (y'all == the people deciding this policy?) > > I interact with users everday - more importantly users of desktop linux > systems and they pick over the apps all day until they find one they > like, then they cling to it like lichen on a cave wall. Heh, nice expression :) The "most users" term bothers me here - maybe the average secretary in corporate environment isn't interested in editing menus or evaluating different applications but that's not the target crowd of FC, the last I heard. I've absolutely nothing against having sane, good defaults in the menus but too much of "we know whats best for you" is .. too much, especially considering the target group of FC, half of which are hackers and the rest on their way there I assume :) - Panu -
