WorkflowMenu

Revision 14 as of 2012-07-30 20:31:00

Clear message

In a traditional menu, an application is put under a category which defines the application. i.e., Ardour is an application which can record and process audio, so it would be put under the audio category (if such exists).

In a workflow based menu, one application can be put under many categories, where the category defines its' workflow specific task. So, Audacity, which by definition belongs to the audio category, could be put under sub-categories such as audio/editing, video/audio-editing.

Audio

This is the main category for the audio workflow, and should only hold audio applications that are impossible to put under sub-cagetories. The first application starter here should probably be a link to audio workflow documentation.
