Cinnamon: Add bookmarks for website to Cinnamon menu

[freemangilgamesh]

I suggest you add an option to add bookmarks to Cinnamon menu just like we do with Ubuntu scopes

[Cobinja]

This still doesn't explain it to non-Unity users.
Do you want Firefox-like bookmarks in the menu or what is it that you want? Please be specific.

[freemangilgamesh]

yes but you can add the option to choose the default browser and apps! and BTW you can add a toggle to turn this option on and off and maybe an RSS notification too

[freemangilgamesh]

an RSS, weather gadget, netspeed, etc could be useful too

[Cobinja]

So you want Windows-like tiles?
That would be overkill for a menu. If any 3rd-party applet implements it, ok.
But probably (and hopefully) not in the builtin one.

[freemangilgamesh]

Just suggesting bro!

Show a video of this in action if possible.

[freemangilgamesh]

I mean something like this:

we add bookmarks of Linux Mint forum, website and other stuff like weather ......

@leigh123linux: I'm so sorry I thought it was just an avatar and I would never attack people for issues out of their control. Thought you were playing till Clement commented on the issue. No offense intended Sir and you are a genius and I think everybody knows this since you are a developer and that's what counts. Peace and love and happy new year sir!

@freemangilgamesh i think this will be a nice feature that also don't saturate the menu if will be added as an option and will create an specially category in the menu (like occurs in Gnomenu). In this way, will not use resources as will be optional. For a normal usage, this will required only one "if" (a conditional evaluation of the condition) and not more than that... I don't see why several people down-vote this, but of course, the opinion of other people are also important...

[JosephMcc]

I can only say why I down voted it. In my opinion there is no place in Cinnamons menu for the tiles shown in the Windows menu or in the posted mockups.

[ghost]

@JosephMcc of course not and i agree with you... Windows menu or the posted mockups are not displayed according of how is displayed the cinnamon menu... Certainly Cinnamon Menu has nothing to be with the windows 10 menu and i think will never be in this way... But this not need to be displayed in this way... Another thing to take in consideration will be the number of menu categories... As they have not an scroll, have a lot of categories will be a kill for display the menu in a short resolutions. But as gnomenu it's in the roadmap, if will be implemented this is another point to take in consideration if this feature will persist or not.
