Description m.wege 2024-02-16 17:30:59 UTC
I want to propose that the kickoff menu should somehow highlight recently installed or updated apps. 
What would be the purpose of this? I just installed an app, forget the name, could not find it immediately then. Also, I assume, that if one installs an app newly, one often wants to test it out. I think it is also an informative aspect to know if an app was recently updated. E.G. I had problems with an app and if I see it was updated, I will try it out again, or I am curious to see, if something changed. From my opinion, there could be two different approaches: a) a virtual folder for recently installed or updated apps and/or the icon of the apps would be marked or highlighted. I am not clear, what could be the definition of recently in this context. I assume there would be different needs like "since the last (x) updates" or "since (x) days).

Indeed, I have wanted this for years.
