Thanks, that's a bit of information worth my weight in gold!

Would it be okay to (in case I'll implement some way to add auto-categorisation later) read that file and use it's content?

Though right not it's not looking like this would work, anyway. While in theory having both applications installed and freely switching between them should work, I get strange results when ApMeFo is activated: While the custom folders display just fine, some of the applications are duplicated to show both within the folders AND in the main menu.

If not for that problem, I think both applications could be made to work well together - Catorise fetches the right category and ApMeFo uses that information via some basic "auto-categorise uncategorised applications" button functionality.

Thanks. However, the battery drain isn't Catorise specific. It'll affect ApMeFo too. It's a bug in hildon-desktop introduced in PR1.2: #10412.

Well, mine too. I've not seen the bug either. Perhaps it's a specific .desktop file which causes it?

According to a comment on #10412, it's reproducible by updating the local one.
What a shame - would have been really nice if by chance we had found a way to rid all three applications of that bug.
