App Launcher - what do you think?

[fossfreedom]

A request was made where some people wanted an app-launcher via the panel - without the icon-task list capability.

So new team member Serdar has pulled together this in double quick time.

Anyone want to try this and give some feedback?

Instructions in the README on how to install: https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/experimental/tree/master/budgie-app-launcher
Edit: this is now part of budgie-extras and can be installed via budgie-app-launcher-applet via our daily PPA or from 19.10 and later just use that package name.

My Desktop just got a whole lot cleaner, by replacing all the App icons with this.

Loving the fact that you can order them to your liking.

Wish I had some coding skills and the creativity to create something like this, well done.

Great work! A very appealing applet…

Coudn’t find it on GitHub … does this still exist?

You can now simply install this through the welcome application. The applet had just been packaged up and added to the welcome application.

Very useful!!! Can you add support for ‘*.desktop’ files from local directory? I used to run some scripts by clicking ‘launcher buttons’ in cinnamon DE and missed this ability in budgie.
