Re: [Ayatana] Highlighting recently installed software in the menu

[Ward Muylaert <ward.muylaert@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the offering to open a program after install -used- to be a feature. A possible (?) issue with that, that I see, would be when installing libraries or the likes. For those it certainly wouldn't make sense to offer to open. In other words, how are you going to determine whether what you just installed is meant to be run at all?

As for your first idea, I remember XP having that feature too and often being wrong/keeping it highlighted well after install. Was rather annoying! Something to keep in mind :o

Hey all,

I had an idea after I installed something and that was I just installed this program but where did it go?

Then I looked for the program and found it in the menu so I was thinking we can make it easier by highlighting the menu entry of the recently installed programs. 

Also I thought it would be an ok idea to offer to open the program after its installed.

Thoughts?
