@marxian: Meefolders' own icon does not appear on the grid for adding icons to folders. I think it should, though, as users might want to add it to a subfolder...

Does/will Meefolders support these kinds of dynamically updated icons?
The current version won't because it uses a copy of the desktop file. The next version will revert back to using the original desktop file, so the changes will be reflected.

Feature request: when clicking the back button or swiping a folder app away, there is no delay at all. In fact a very slight delay (or other transition effect) would be good and would add to the UI smoothness.

The swipe itself involves a transition. Once the application is swiped offscreen, it is no longer visible, so there is no purpose in adding anything at that point. There might be a case for adding a sliding transition when using the back button, but in my view the back button is redundant anyway. Also, QML is interpreted at runtime. Adding more just increases startup time.

Right; I see your point. In that case I'd vote for removing the back button (especially if doing so will increase the startup even by a tiny amount; anything greater than about 40 milliseconds is detectable, isn't it?)

Some icons are not shown. E.g. 5inarow from Nokia store has no icon, just the caption.

Umlauts don't work. E.g., if you create a folder "Büro", you'll get a weird question mark character instead of the ü.

Edit: that folder wouldn't open even.
I've almost fixed the umlauts problem. I just need to get the characters to display correctly on the desktop. I probably just need to get the locale and use it for the Name key.

Although the issue is apparent when launching an app from inside a folder; the folder screen disappears "too quickly" and in a way it is not apparent that it is actually launching the app; the 'just disappearing immediately' behaviour connotes a lack of feedback.

You might consider it a minor issue, but it is one, I think.

I can add a delay and display a loading icon. That is easy enough.

Would it be possible to slide it away instead?

I don't think so. At least not using QML. It would require programatically adjusting the position of the main window, rather that the root QML object. Sliding the root QML object is easy, but it leaves a black background.
