So a loong time ago (well software time at least) when I was
starting (for the second time) to use Ubuntu I read all about the
revolutionary changes like the integrated menus and applications
that don't quit but rather stay in the memory so they would open
instantly when needed . I liked the second idea then and I like it
now , but I don't see it implemented all that much . Rhythmbox has
some similar behaviour ,but not with the same intent , as does
Transmission (if it's configured so) . But the base applications -
Nautilus , Firefox and lets say the Software center/System monitor
, do not do this .
As I now think of it,it has to be done app by app , because every
app has it's own purpose and expected behaviour , but that push
should be done at least for Nautilus and Firefox . It should be an
option for the low-RAM systems to turn off preloading/not quitting
for obvious reasons. I got a bit ahead of my self - I want to
suggest if the above is implemented , to enable preloading on
system startup (if the system is idle only) of those base apps , so
when I turn on my computer and get back after a few mins to get
stuff done - magic , everything opens instantly . It would be quite
an excitement for the new users too.
