Right now I am working on

Getting 'All Applications' to show all items in the GNOME menu correctly. Some users reported it

  • Shows items they never saw before
  • Does not show some items
  • Does not sort correctly

I think this takes priority since some users (myself included) use USP as my main menu because it is cool... but seriously, it gives more information in an easy single place just as it is described in forum

"Ubuntu System Panel - Simple launcher for the GNOME desktop, providing easy access to Places, Applications and common configuration items for your computer."

and I am striving to reach this goal...

Please post your views [U] [I] Queued[/I][/U] - *Removing/hiding the toggle buttons to make the panel more appealing *Configuration window so you wouldnt have to dig arround in gconf-editor *Fixing window-under panel problem

Amongs the others that I promised for the next release, *sorry*

I can release it but what is the point if there will still be a lot of little fixes that people want and cant be fixed until later?

Sorry again guys, but I haven't given up on you all....

chanders ... sorry to bug you, but

will the next version have a shortcut for opening (like ctrl+f1 for the "normal" app menu)?

^^ We will see what we can do.

Yesterday I finished working on revamping the recent documents plugin. USP2 now also shows recent apps!! (Without patching Gnome)

Today I have to find out how to monitor a file for changes without polling it every X seconds (if it is possible)

I also need to find out how to get the middle click to work on the applet to move it..

from what i know, beagle uses the - relatively new - kernel extension named "INotify".

gnome-vfs probably has an interface to that
