Looks like I missed this thread. Tudor comment is a little bit funny there: "by default in Morphic every window gets the generic menu that
nobody really uses,". When he does not use it it does not mean that all other do not use it ;)

You are now talking about exactly one item out of 10. When was the last time you used the Close menu entry from that menu?
If we do not go through this process we will find out in 10 years that we have the same solutions around us. I know it can be painful but the investment is worth it.


I like when we make progress - but we should also take care not to constantly break others flow.

Well. It is hard to come with new things by doing exactly the same things as yesterday.

 
I also currently circumvent the missing functionality the same way as Kilon describes: by opening an old workspace first,
switching to grouping and dragging the playgrounds there.

So, that means that you do prefer the Playground after all :)

 
Please can we have this grouping back somehow. I dont care about
the window menu itself but the grouping avoids the windows hell and we should get this back.

In the long term I envision that I can drag windows (like playgrounds or Nautilus) onto each other
and when I do this long enough they will group automagically.

That might be a solution, but what we have now is not such a solution. Please give us time.


Doru
