The problem is likely only concerning developers with this exact situation. So we should probably not add a checkbox "Show only applications on boot volume" which would be useless clutter for a regular user.Hehe, well i just throwed a random thought, just to comfort Clemens that i'm also concerned by the issue :) Though saying there's no issue at all surprises me a bit! First of all, i always consider myself part of the target audience, so if i see a problem, there's no reason not to solve it just because i'm an 'advanced' user facing a rare situation. Secondly, after thinking a bit more about it, i can already foresee scenarios where a 'supposed regular' user might face that situtation (multiple installs, install media inserted), and even if that happens only rarely, that's no reason to forget about it. Note also that some of the items in the menu will simply crash on start most of the times as they are from too old / too new versions, so i guess the menu is definitely not doing it's job of proposing meaningfull options :) I'm thinking about heuristics on versions, ignore options etc... For me it's a bit like the now removed option of merging destkops from other partitions, that might be a "disk mounting" option.. I don't know yet, just throwing more ideas :)
Consider me convinced, especially since some good ideas to solve the problem have been proposed. :-)
