ALI Menus Proposal
I should be doing alot of things, prepare Curriculum vitaes and thing like that for next year, but or the moment being I can't think of anything else than Plasma. I'm really enthousiastic about it.
I though alot about task menu organisation, and I think we could organize three main menus :
[b]File[/b]
-create
--[list of filetypes the user can create]
-print
--[list of recent printable documents] (rencent texts, spreadsheets, pdfs and pictures)
--Select a file to open (opens a Print dialog box, which only displays texts, spreadsheets, pdfs and pictures)
-open
--[list of recent documents]
--Select a file to open (opens a Open dialog box)
-send
--[list of recent documents]
--Select a file to send (opens a Send dialog box)
-delete
--Select a file to delete (opens a Delete dialog box)
-filetypes associations (opens the filetype association configuration dialog)
[b]Communication[/b]
-Browse the web
--Open Browser (if only one is installed) / [list of browser apps] (if more than one is installed)
--Web Search (opens a browser window on you default online search engine page)
---[list of browser apps] (if more than one is installed)
--[list of bookmarks sorted by categories] (selecting one opens a browser window on the selected bookmark page)
--Manage bookmarks (opens keditbookmarks)
-Contacts
--[list of contacts sorted by categories]
---possible actions with selected contact
---edit contact informations
--open adress book
-Chat
--[list of chat apps] (if more than one is installed)
-Open mail client
--[list of mail apps] (if more than one is installed)
[b]Multimedia[/b]
-Music
--Open Player (if only one is installed) / [list of music player apps] (if more than one is installed)
--Create playlist
-Sound
--Configure
--Add sound control applet to the systray
-Video
--Watch (opens a Open dialog box) (filters movie files)
--Watch DVD (appears only if a movie DVD is inserted)
-Picture
--View
--Organize
--Import (appears only if a camera is connected)
-Devices
--See content of a device
---[list of connected devices] (cliking on one of the entries opens a browser)
--Burn
---Image file (opens a Burn dialog box)
--CD
---See content (opens a browser) (appears only if a CD is inserted)
---Erase (opens a confirmation box) (appears only if the CD is rewritable)
--DVD
---Watch (appears only if a movie DVD is inserted)
---See content (opens a browser) (appears only if a DVD (movie or data) is inserted)
---Erase (opens a confirmation box) (appears only if the DVD is rewritable)
--Floppy
---See content (opens a browser) (appears only if a Floppy is inserted)
---Format (opens a confirmation box) (appears only if a non protected Floppy is inserted)
-Games
--One player
---[list of games sorted by categories]
--Local multiplayer
---[list of games sorted by categories]
--Networkplay
---[list of games sorted by categories]
-Edutainment
--[list of Apps sorted by categories]
The dialog boxes I mentioned are not the ones you now from KDE3.4 and need mockups, which I'll do as soon as possible.
Now the problem is : How to put Configuration and Programmation tasks ?
I'm wondering if there could be an arrow at the side of the menus applet wich would make it expand and reveal less often used menus.
