In the beginning (first time KDE is started) it will be a static menu: there will be already applications in it. (I agree with your testing for which applications as you can see on the page.) After this it will be dynamic but this will not be a problem because: 1) there will be a high maximum number of entries to remember. 2) allmost all people which use this menu will use only a few different apps. 3) most people which use this menu will select an application from this menu (because of the testing for which apps should be there). 4) most people will LMB click on things in 80% (I guess) of all the times. ps: Another advantage of this is that we also can make that if someone always use an application in this menu in place of the LMB click application, their will be a pop-up which asks for changing automatically the default application after x times he do this via another application. When he clicks yes, the default app will be placed at the top of the menu with other apps and the new default app will disappear. - -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/M9cuK+G8aHNHCSMRAjAbAJwJsr7D4XiTc50VlYtt/otAsCfC9gCguWqH bP1ZuH0Og3bJjV6uqhVepoA= =CEfa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
