== Wish List == | |||
Proposition for the new content / organisation of the QtLauncher. | |||
rem: each first-level item in the following list represents an icon in the vertical icon box, on the left side of the mainwindow. The sub-level items could be organised by tabs, groups, panels in separated pages. | |||
rem2: some of these items don't exist yet, or are unstable. This list could be a starting point to develop some ideas... | |||
