Allow reorganisation of favourites #1

Closed UltraBlackLinux closed 2 years ago

UltraBlackLinux commented 2 years ago

Hey there, lovely launcher, but there is one thing I'd really like to see: I want to group specific favourites together so that I can find specific programs more easily, but I can't reorganise them. Could you add that? Thanks!

heqro commented 2 years ago

Thank you for the comment. I will most likely get around that once I'm done with this university year, so this will definitely take some time. The reason for this is because (a) my knowledge of QML is this project's age old and (b) I'm using KDE's private API for receiving the user's applications. For doing those cool tricks (such as grouping and other stuff the guys at the pling website proposed me) I will have to parse whatever KDE's private API does.

Long story short, a myriad of suggestions I've been receiving should be doable. But I will need some patience: the kind comments I've read are all written down in my to-do list, so I promise I will get around them!

I will be great if we could reorganize the favorites by moving them in the favorites list. This is another suggestion. ;-)

Y0Mamma commented 2 years ago

This is a very much needed feature. As it is now, I have to remove things from my favorites and readd them in the order I want them on screen. Is there a way to do this in KDE outside of the menu until you get this feature added? Oh, btw, this is the best menu out there, and I have tried them all. Do you accept bit coin donations?

@Y0Mamma: We have to wait, Heqro is looking for to implement it. It takes time. You can reorganize your favorites via the desktop panel (edit panel) as you can add favorites on it.

Indeed, this is how it works as of now. I definitely want to implement it. I just am having a bit of trouble to find the time to do it right out of the gate.

I'm not too certain.

Thank you so much!

I will accept them once I think the menu is actually reliable and polished. There's still loads and loads of work for me to do. You guys finding bugs, proposing visual improvements and such things is more than enough for me now. This is my first project in qml and plasmoid development. I still have to find my mojo.

heqro commented 2 years ago

This feature has been added as of now and is currently present in the develop branch. Given that you guys seem to know how to use GitHub arguably better than me, if you want to try it I urge you to swap to this branch and download that branch's menu version.

The reason why change this hasn't already been pushed into master is because I'd like to keep track of behavior of the menu in my device for a while as KDE doesn't have any testing suite for plasmoids. This change was extremely simple as well, so that's another reason why I'm hesitant to push it immediately to master.

All in all, the next release for the menu is shaping up to look great.

You guys tell me if it works alright.

Tuxman2 commented 2 years ago

Ok, I download the version from the develop branch and I will give you my impression (probably for tomorrow). ;-)

Tuxman2 commented 2 years ago

Reorganisation of favourites tested. It works. :-)

heqro commented 2 years ago

Okay, closing down this issue.
