Yea I talked before about empty lenses.
If possible all lenses must have some content, examples or instructions by default.
populated could be:
[photo manager] [mail client] [music player] [help] [backup] ...
people will at least know they are there. And the ones used more frequently that are not in the launcher stay there.

Subject: Re: [Unity-design] About the Welcome page of the Dash.

One fairly simple (I assume) solution would be to populate the "Home" lens with applications by default but as applications are used, they are re-ordered by recently/frequently used?

This may, of course, cause confusion to new users if they do not fully understand that behaviour.

Hi all,



this is my first message on this list, please be kind if what i report

has already been discussed millions times, I dig a bit the archives

though.





I opened a bug which i thought would be quickly flagged as duplicate

although I couldn't find other bug describing my feelings :





The title is ""Unity in 12.04 is impossible to use by a newbie because

of the empty Dash at start""



https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/962265/





I sell laptops and desktops with ubuntu preinstalled to "classic

users" who seek with my offers a good start in a world away from

Windows (mainly), from the start of Unity , it was difficult to use it

because they didn't understand where to find the applications and

where they were stored.



But in 12.04 it seems a choice was done which will make their

understanding even more difficult :  Where a user click on the ubuntu

Icon in order to launch an application, an empty page is presented,

it's not obvious for him that he needs to click with his mouse on the

icons on the bottom to find his applications.





I know my bug is incomplete as I didn't draw a sketch to propose

something new for this welcome dash, but I would like before to have

your feelings on this :



- Do you plan to release 12.04 with this empety dash ?

- don't you think the categories of apps ( or all the apps ) should be

accessible in fewer clicks for newbies ?





Thanks for making the word better with ubuntu !
