| Quote | Why if I am going to test something interesting to me I need to look for it in the long list of MyDSL programs?
Why similar programs has a different names?
If ke4nt is the person who is making final touch to every MyDSL file, this should be a question to him.
Is it very problematic to organise programs into groups?
Is it very illogical to have them in separate drawers?

I usually don't even use the menu unless it is something I recently downloaded and want to use/explore ..
The long lists you see in my screenshots are for eye-candy, and not my usual workspace..
Your downloaded extensions can always be accessed thru the emelfm file manager or MC from shell via "mydsl-load" .
Whether in a partition or on the CD, you can make folders to divide your saved extensions into groups, and store them there.
While the myDSL menu is handy to have if you just "loaded up" an extension, truly you folks are "pushing the limit"
on what it was designed to do by roberts, that is, simply give you one-click access to your favorite extensions..
I usually load toram from liveCD, which does not give you the l o n g list of extensions in your menu anyway ..
Habits from testing numerous pre-releases, I guess ..
I see them whenever I use my USBkey, and request the second partition be my "mydsl" in my bootup string ,
or whenever I assign another area to be my "mydsl" partition ..
Plans are already in the works for some "organizing" of the extensions into sub-groups..
It will need to tie into the myDSLgui, as well as the repository pages..
Then the sub-groups in webspace will filter down to sub-groups in your storage areas..
The reality of things now is that so many different threads, ideas, and concepts filter down to us at DSL ..
It's amazing what some people are doing, enhancing the base distro to meet their individual needs with myDSL and other customizations..
While your here discussing drawers and groups, several others are investigating how to r e m o v e them from the distro to make it fit their needs..
Remember, 90 days ago, this subject was moot, as there were not enough contribs to even be concerned with ..
And the team at DSL is steadily making changes and improvements to the NEXT version ,
which is where their time and effort is truly needed ..
There has already been some progress made in extending the existing menu code here in the forums..
Perhaps that can be worked into a .dsl or .tar.gz for use in creating accessable sub-groups..
Then you get the o p t i o n of having it, rather than altering the base .iso ..
