at least that works in the main hildon.menu for apps, can't get it to work for directories
Since I'm already quite the sissy when it comes to hildon.menu itself (that is, at least on other people's device - I play around with it on my own quite a lot ), I would only go for sorting applications, anyway.

So if I get this to work within the folders I'd be already more than happy. Thanks for that important bit of information!

also l added a "More" directory and moved the </OnlyUnallocated> statement there. (all new apps then go there instead of the main menu, like the pre PR1.2 menu. Then I added nodisplay=true to my more.directory file. I won't see new apps listed until I add them to a folder, but I find it much harder to trigger the submenu bug. Perhaps it gets caught scanning/re-scanning for unallocated apps? That was one of the differences between the stock hildon.menu and the new hildon.menu (either ApMeFo or by hand).
That sounds like quite a good idea! If it's okay with you, I'd like to include that as a simple setting ("Store unallocated applications in More... folder") in ApMeFo for one of the later versions.


By the by, since I'm preparing the V1.0 features/fixes right now, a question to all: What would be more annoying - having to wait for the new version for a couple of days (and getting everything in one huge update) or getting daily updates (with only small modifications each)?
