Hi there! First of all, thanks to everyone for posting!

Cought a cold, so I can't reply in detail right now, but I'll come back to you once I'm a bit better (hopefully in less than a day).

Just didn't want you to think I'm neglecting your replies as I'm really thankful for getting them: Lots of good ideas and helpful hints! :)

Don't worry about it. Just make sure you get well soon ^_^

Inside the folder you created can be moved from site applications?

Hmm.. seems like I'm not able to create folders with scandinavian letter in their name. Edit/Create button just doesn't do anything, no messages, nothing. With "standard" letters everything is working fine.

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-3) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 

I tried to install ApMeFo and as i had mymenu installed i uninstalled it.

After that i can only have access to the main 14 apps in the menu. I can't access any other of my installed apps and even in the desktop several shorcuts as appmanager just don't work.

After some search i followed the instructions in
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=108
deleted /home/user/.config/menus/hildon.menu and after a reboot the problem remains.
Searching in the forum i understood that this is a known problem but i found no solution but reflashing and loosing all my tweaks.

The only way i have to access my apps again is to reinstall mymenu.

Looking at /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu i suspect that this file is not the original pr1.2 as the date is 04-02-2010.
If that's the case it could be the reason for this problem.

So i ask if someone can post an original pr1.2 version of /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu

Thanks

EDIT:

Problem Solved. :D

Thanks to pantera1989 that sent me this link:

i could restore the original pr1.2 version of /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu

You can add Scandinavian letters (Ä, Ö & Å) manually. I've done it so and it works just fine, you can also use space ( ) and "&" also. You'll just have to edit the corresponding file from X-Terminal (I recommend using Nano. You'll get some lag when entering Scandinavian letters but that's just normal, for some reason :D). And of course you can install Nano from repositories, if you can find it there. You'll though need to be root for this so you may want to do this as well:

• Go to Application Manager
• Enable "Maemo.org"/"Extras"
• Install rootsh
• Go to X-Terminal after installation
• Type gainroot
• If needed, type root

In future you shouldn't be required to use gainroot anymore, just root should be enough. After that you can use Application Manager again to install nano, if you can find it from there. If not then try this:

It should ask for permission to write to your system (e.g. to install nano) so press y and then enter. Once that's done, continue with this:

*** is the one, that you're going to edit. E.g. Games would most likely be "games.directory". You can find your corresponding directory by either pressing Tab or:

Type your desired new name to "Name=", e.g. "Name=Järjestelmä" (that's System for those who don't understand Finnish). Press Ctrl+X, type y again if asked and press Enter. Hildon will crash the Application Menu for once but then it should be OK.

Naturally, since ApMeFo does not support Scandinavian letters, it does not show up on ApMeFo but does show up in Application Menu.

I have a quistion (dident had the time to read it) but can you still keep apps in de basic menu (like the first 15 or so) an underneath put some maps, or is it really first only maps then in a map the apps

thnx

Re: [Announce] ApMeFo (beta 0.9-3) - Create custom folders in your Application Menu
 

Just seconding a feature request posted before; can you make it so it reads the customizations you've already done to the main menu without sorting everything alphabetically once you activate it with a single folder? Ideally I'd like to keep the PR1.1 behavior, neat default order for the main menu, and your new folders would go after the settings icon.

I could do it using this app plus changing stuff manually on the hildon.menu file, but that would be missing the point right? :P

if by maps you mean folders than yes. :) you can organize it anyway you want.
