Description Antti Savolainen 2025-05-09 08:59:22 UTC

SUMMARY
If I install a ton of programs, I get a ton of "New" indicators in kickoff. I don't want to click on them one by one so a self-evident method to clean the indicators would be nice

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a lot of programs
2. Look at Kickoff

OBSERVED RESULT
There are a lot of "New" indicators that can be dismissed only by clicking on them

EXPECTED RESULT
A button to dismiss all would be nice.

The indicators go away after 3 days.

Or when you launch one of the new programs.

I think a method to manually remove them is probably overkill. I get the OCD desire for this, but I think it may be an urge worth fighting against, in the interest of keeping the system simpler.

Understandable. Lets wait for wider feedback.
