Properties editor

Looking into the code to perhaps add a properties menu for easier configuration.

Icon Size

Also looking at possibilities to be able to change the icon size in Slab/AB. There are 6 Icon Levels that can be used.

Below is the smallest (Note! It doesn't look very sexy as the current code was not designed to use different icon sizes. The icon should be much close to the text and the gap between the rows should be less as well).

And the largest

Dev&Profiling

• Application browser refreshes after it's window has opened
  • Possibly fixed with https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=283186#c4

• Enhancement; Add Trash (with size of deleted items) to the Status headline, with option to right click and empty (Future; Able to schedule it to be emptied on age and available disk space?)

• Enhancement; Performance when opening App Browser the first time
  • Profiling in progress...

Ideas - Performance improvement

• It currently takes ~.4 of a second to call this function
  • Save result from gmenu_tree_get_root_directory to binary cache to be used instead (This should be a fairly quick hack).
• It currently takes ~2 seconds to populate AB and an additional ~1 second to actually display the window.
  • Load only a small amount of applications before opening the AB window. Once AB is visible, load the rest (This probably requires a lot of work).
• Only add context menu when user right clicks on an application
  • Implemented (although not perfected code wise). Savings = .3 of a second. There is no delay at all when adding it "real-time" instead (less than a millisecond).
• Note to self
  • Can we save time/memory by not storing the tooltip text for each app, but rather retrieve it *if* needed?
  • Can we make people aware of the right click thing by having a "Tip Of The Day" in the "System Area"??
