Re: Pin to Dash Option

Would this be the equivalent of pinning a folder to the launcher in OS X? Say, one could pin a group of apps or a folder of files to the launcher, and when clicked, it would open a custom lens or something of that sort in the dash, showing all of the files/apps that are pinned there. Using this solution, there is less clutter in both the launcher and in the dash.

        Team,

        I hope everybody is having a good week. I have an idea. My
        idea is, we could add an option on a right-click of an icon
        in Dash that will pin it to the Dash home. This could be done
        by adding a section above recent apps, maybe titled "Pinned
        Apps"? Opinions are needed... Thanks!

    I am a huge fan of pinning icons to the launcher, so I have a lot
    of them. Sometimes, it is hard to get to them quickly though. The
    benefit users would get from pinning to the Dash is that users
    could pin a lot of icons to the Dash, and quickly find them while
    inside Dash.

I LOVE that idea. This would solve the issue very well.
