Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 

Unistalled Gas-Balls, that made ApMeFo work again. I thought it was the PyQt update a few weeks ago that made ApMeFo fail.

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 

gas-balls.destkop file is in:
/usr/share/applications/hildon/
The reason why apmefo does not work with gas-balls is:
ApMeFo parses the .desktop files and looking for an entry
Name=applicationname
And uses the value applicationname as the name for the
application :-)
The gas-balls.desktop file has some additional spaces:
Name = Gas-Balls
Change this line to
Name=Gas-Balls
and ApMeFo works again.

Nicolai

nikolai: thx for hint. I changed problematic code to use ConfigParser instead of parsing itself.

How do you change the name of the folder? I don't want to look for apps to add to the new folder again.
TIA

You can't change the name of the folder using this app. You CAN find where the app stores its .menu and .desktop files and edit the names of those to change the mane... Not sure off the top of my head where those are stored, though. (As for how, either use a file manager that can get to those files [not the default one]) or use X-Terminal. I would personally use

mv [path of file being renamed]/[name of file] [same path]/[name you want to rename the file to]

I think they are in /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon

In each .desktop file there is a Name which you can edit - this should suffice - ymmv

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 

There are folder's names in "/home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon" but changing them here is not enough. When I go back to the most used apps menu, the folder disappeared. In ApMeFo, the old folder name is still kept when managing folders.

The dev was asked also in other forums to add some "rename Folder" option.
...But I guess Nathraiben is still on vacation.

@Hrw
I would be very pleased if you could send me your qt source.

@zerocoolk: maybe I was not clear. You haven't to rename the .desktop file, you have to open it and edit the "Name=" field. At least, it works for me.

http://github.com/hrw/apmefo contains sources.

Plans for next days:

- add TODO
- make Activate/Deactivate menu options work
- change few details in UI
- change folders window
