Feature

You give 2 options in the menu visibility
Option 1: Apps only visible in the top menu
and a combined option 2: Apps visible in the top and side menus
This is very confusing

I do not see benefits for installing apps which are not visible in the menus

I like to use all apps in the side menu, and a selection (most used) apps in the top menu.

Description

I think it is way easyer to give 2 singel options

Option 1: Apps visible in the top menu
Option 2: Apps visible in the side menu

Benefits

Clear selection what is visible where.
One can easyly choose which app is visible in which menu.

I think it might be easyer programming to without the combined option.
and yes I, under stand the work has already been done.

Thanks in advance

Hello!

Technically, there are 2 methods to retrieve apps:

In case where Default and Always displayed are selected: by using analysing the top menu
In case where With categories and Big menu are selected: by using a specific API

Apps that should not be displayed in the menu is only compatible with With categories and Big menu menus. Apps only visible in the top menu is compatible with all menus.

When applications are installed but not fully configured then Apps that should not be displayed in the menu is very usefull. In this case, It's necessary to define one of With categories and Big menu menus to make it work.

Apps only visible in the top menu is usefull when you have favorite apps. Apps visible in the top and side menus complete this option and append selected apps in the side menu (eg: Files).

If your options are added, it means that when new apps are installed, they must be automatically inserted in the global settings and in all personal settings. This is not a trivial thing.
