Do people really commonly access 64 applications on a given day? As David said above, is the applications menu supposed to contain every application ever installed, or is it supposed to contain the ones you actually use? We also have to think about removing application icons when the application is uninstalled. Having applications scattered through a large number of menu folders means the chance that icons won't be cleaned up on uninstallation is quite strong. (meaning non-working symlinks) If you want to have an easy solution. Have one check box: "Add a shortcut into the applications menu?" My personal vote is keeping the plain applications menu for now as-is. Plus.. who is going to design a bunch HVIF category icons? -- Alex
