Does anyone know how to get quicklists working with 12.04?
I quite like Unity - the left of the screen is a good place for a launcher, but I can't get on with the way I'm obliged to access multiple minimised files within a single application. Double clicking on the icon, and then trying to identify the file I want from the multiple images on my screen just seems clumsy. How much easier, as with Docky, to be able to right click on the application icon, and then scroll to the file I want.
There are a number of websites supposedly offering scripts for implementing the same thing under Unity, in the form of quicklists, e.g. at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/unity-window-quicklists.html:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:alanbell/unity
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-window-quicklists
But when I try this, and othes a bit like it, nothing happens, and yes I have rebooted.
Help anyone?
Regards
