New Update messes up apps locations
 
Hi [=

I updated my n810 with the system update that released a day ago or so, and i seem to be having problems with where my applications are located.

Before the update, maemo requested to backup my stuff, and so i did, and also restored it once my tablet was restarted.

The layout of my apps was totally ruined, and all the aditional apps (excluding the ones the built-in ones, of course) are all in the extras category.

I tried uninstalling my additional apps, and reinstalling them (thinking that maemo will prompt me on where to install the app) but I wasn't prompted where to install it, i tried to look for a setting like: default install directory, but no setting existed.

Is there a way to fix this? It's really frustrating! :(

Thanks a lot,
props to InternetTabletTalk [=

Almost certainly, it was the restoration of your backup, not the update itself, that reorganized your application menu. You'll need to manually sort the items back the way you like them by using the facility provided at: Application menu -> Settings -> Control panel -> Panels -> Organize.

is there a bug report about this? Maybe custom locations are not considered by the backup application.

That's a good point, Quim-- in backups I've restored I remember being re-prompted for the app locations when I reinstalled them...

Of course.
