Nothing shows up in the "Add Apps" tab. <-- Meaning, you can press the "select" button, and the folder list shows up - that's fine. But the app list doesn't load, so you can't remove, re-order, or add programs. (Plus button doesn't bring up anything.)

To be clear, I reinstalled the repos version, I figured I'd wait until your modifications were merged with the original, Hrw, or until you put your fork in the repos by itself. Given that this happened, I might uninstall and install your version, less user-friendly though the process may be.

Edit:

I just checked the /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon folder.

Every file in there ends with "directory". I thought it was supposed to be "desktop"? Could this have to do with the issue?

Edit 2: Okay, I was wrong. .desktop simply makes the folder disappear from ApMeFo and the menu enirely. .directory is what it needs to be.

For now I'm going back to the manual editing of .menu files in /home/user/.config/menus/submenus - but it's not ideal, obviously.

Edit 3: cmsjkung: Why did you uninstall ApMeFo in the first place. I must note: I reinstalled ApMeFo on a system that did not have all the apps that the original system contained before my N900 went all boot-loop on me. Is it possible that not having all the .desktop application files in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ that the .menu files of ApMeFo refer to is the cause? (Gonna test this by deleting references to the no-longer installed programs from the .menu files.)

- Didn't have time to save edit before figuring this out - didn't work. Other note: Permissions for the .menu folders are -RW-R--R-- . Shouldn't they have another W in one of the latter two sections in order for ApMeFo to be able to write to them?
i had this problem, until i uninstalled recently installed apps that were still in the main folder, then the problem dissapeared. it works fine again now. dont know if it was a particular .desktop file causing the problem or a bug wih the app
