I think the idea of a lenses-bar is great. That would solve some problems. As it is, the Files and folders lense and the Applications lense consumes two tiles on the launcher, which occupies valuable space without, I think, adding any significant value. As Unity matures and is being adopted by more people, we are likely to see lots of different lenses. Should they all have a static tile on the launcher? If we consider lenses a special kind of application, then I think it makes very much sense to have an own space for them and using the launcher that way, seems very nice to me. Since the launcher is deactivated in the dash in any case, switching to a different view there, making use of that space, seems like a good idea -- as long as the difference is very clear to the user. However, at present, the number of lenses are limited. Perhaps this isn't something that should take high priority until there is a real world need for it? The way you describe it, it sounds like a very non-invasive enhancement that could be added at any time. With a fairly low number of lenses actually being used, I think it may feel like an unnecessary extra step. |
