It doesnt behave like that anymore, is not unified. Now it opens the individual apps, like it should.

I personally would be happy to have a more accessible help. The only problem I can see with the unified LO tile is the managing of multiple windows. How to trigger the spread for each LO app etc.. Assuming that not everyone uses all the 3 applications, having an enough clear and easy way to remove the ones you don't need might be enough.



Cheers, chr

Since we need to propose something to remove prior to proposing something to add.

1- Proposal to substitute the "3 LibreOffice icons" for 1 icon, the LO start center (see attached images).

Not only it saves 2 spaces in the launcher, but also the start center offers "All" that LO has to offer under 1 dialogue. 



The 3 icons waste space. It was kept that way because Start center was buggy with the launcher, but now with 3.5 is working as expected.


2- Proposal to add the "Help" or the "Ubuntu desktop guide" in the launcher (see 2nd attachment). All products come with their manual and believe it or not, so does Ubuntu but is hidden and not something its targeted crowd (new users or migrating users) will stumble upon easily. Gives over view of all desktop elements, how to get new apps, getting help online, hardware info, accessibility options, tips and tricks, etc.



It helps even more to cut down the full learning curve.

Also ubuntu being on displays on stores, this helps users get self help and a fast overview of the operating system. As well as the employes of these stores can better assist the user instead of guessing or not able to answer basic questions (which usually happens a lot)...
