3 Discussion

JF 2 Nov 2009: We support this feature request. We should make some mockup screens for the different variants of the block.

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], June 15, 2015: I recommend to reject this feature request for two reasons:

1. In the meantime we got a feature that allows it to remove several objects from the PD quickly, see Remove from Desktop for Multiple Objects. So there is a simple way to reduce the long list of desktop items since 4.4.
2. In the last five years we got more and more used to have long pages instead of a lot of small ones. Think of the Wordpress design paradigm where you have a lot to scroll down to see the entire page content.

So why introducing a pagination for the list of items on your Personal Desktop? If the list is too long, reduce it (option is available). And if you need to have a lot of items on your PD, why not having them on one page?
