Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 
Hello all,
I got my N900 2 days ago and the first problem I noticed about it was this inability to create folders. So I think ApMeFo is the best app for it right now.
Now I'm not a dev and probably a noob when it comes to this operating system stuff. But I used apmefo and there is one problem I'd like to address :

So I put all my apps in required folders. But the main menu default stuff like web, contacts, conversations etc I would like them to remain in the main menu and right at the start. So whats happening is that when apmefo is creating folders, the folders end up right from the start at the beginning as the first icons on the menu. But I dont want that, I'd like the other default stuff there. So when I try to move the folders away or bring contacts, web etc to the first icon by holding it for 3-4 seconds, then all the apps inside the apmefo created folder come out and become scattered. And then I have to arrange it all back again. :( Please help.

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 
I can confirm cmsjkung's bug - today I reinstalled ApMeFo (haven't bothered to since reflash) - it can no longer edit the applications in the folders. I tried "editing" a folder, saving it with the same picture as it was, and it still did nothing. Then I tried deleting the folder and make a new one with same name and image. Nothing shows up in the "Add Apps" tab. <-- Meaning, you can press the "select" button, and the folder list shows up - that's fine. But the app list doesn't load, so you can't remove, re-order, or add programs. (Plus button doesn't bring up anything.)

To be clear, I reinstalled the repos version, I figured I'd wait until your modifications were merged with the original, Hrw, or until you put your fork in the repos by itself. Given that this happened, I might uninstall and install your version, less user-friendly though the process may be.

Edit:

I just checked the /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon folder.

Every file in there ends with "directory". I thought it was supposed to be "desktop"? Could this have to do with the issue?

Edit 2: Okay, I was wrong. .desktop simply makes the folder disappear from ApMeFo and the menu enirely. .directory is what it needs to be.

For now I'm going back to the manual editing of .menu files in /home/user/.config/menus/submenus - but it's not ideal, obviously.

Edit 3: cmsjkung: Why did you uninstall ApMeFo in the first place. I must note: I reinstalled ApMeFo on a system that did not have all the apps that the original system contained before my N900 went all boot-loop on me. Is it possible that not having all the .desktop application files in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ that the .menu files of ApMeFo refer to is the cause? (Gonna test this by deleting references to the no-longer installed programs from the .menu files.)

- Didn't have time to save edit before figuring this out - didn't work. Other note: Permissions for the .menu folders are -RW-R--R-- . Shouldn't they have another W in one of the latter two sections in order for ApMeFo to be able to write to them?

i had this problem, until i uninstalled recently installed apps that were still in the main folder, then the problem dissapeared. it works fine again now. dont know if it was a particular .desktop file causing the problem or a bug wih the app

this is my diagnosis output if someone willing to help :

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 
Yamakasi: Yes, you can manually edit the .menu files in /home/user/.config/menus/submenus/ (there's also a hildon.menu file in the menus folder, but that can be mostly left alone unless you want to do other stuff - for instance, I added Deinstall-Kernel-Power to the exclude tag to hide it - but it's not necessary, and if you mess up it can kill your menu in general so you'll have to remember what changes you made and fix it again).

However, manual editing is a pain in the ***. That's what I'm doing right now, but it's unpleasant. Really.

dscobsct: I would experiment, but at this point I already edited my .menu files around and installed a bunch of crap that wasn't there before my reflash, so it's probably a lost cause to track down the bug if it's merely in the .menu and .desktop files. If it's somewhere else in a ApMeFo folder, I may be able to fix it... Will look into it.

where can i find previous versions of Apmefo ?, i need this app badly and it seems that fixing the bug in the current version will take some time.

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-5) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 
alright i manage to sort apps manually but it's not practical at all, if someone can tell me what's wrong with the app and how can i solve it i will be thankful, i am still waiting for an answer

EDIT : after i installed the app i started immediately to create folders before hitting the activate button, could this be the problem ?
