Subject: Re: [Unity-design] The apps lens and categories

I for one agree with you Alan. I don't know how this can be altered to be the default behavior but it's something that should be done.

I have just seen a broadly positive article about 12.04

but it picks up on the really odd setup of the applications lens. Why on earth do we use the categories as filters and not as categories?

It just makes much more sense, it looks better it makes applications more browsable and easier to find http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/appmenulens.png





It really isn't nice to just have a wall of 200 icons in the "installed" category.
