First of all the application did not work. I think it's permissions like you said. Here is the output:

Code:

    includeNode = self.xmlTree.getElementsByTagName("Include")[0]

    includeNode = self.xmlTree.getElementsByTagName("Include")[0]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getElementsByTagName'

Now to feedback regarding the working app.

1. The menu that comes up each time with the apps to add is too slow. Could the content be somehow cached on the app's startup? I doubt that someone will install anything new while the app is running. This way the first time loading will take time, but further tries will be much faster.
2. Could the apps menu let you select multiple items at a time? Like some menus in the browser?
3. The apps menu should be updated. If you select an app it should be removed from the menu.
4. Could there be an option to sort alphabetically once added in the folder?
5. I used the de-activate option. It works but the device become unresponsive, forcing you to restart. Could this process be a bit more fluid?

** EDIT ** While running it from xterm as root, it still couldn't create the folder, but pressing de-activate didn't make the device unresponsive and the menu was restored.

Go to deactivate and I select activate. I get a message that it is activated. The result is a mess in the menu (regarding sorting). The apps I select into the folder are still in the menu and the folder is no where to be seen.

This was discussed, search the forums but thats my personal input, i really fealt a difference between having it or not.

I will now test apmefo

I create a folder and get a message "Folder was successfuly created or saved". I can't remember the exact message. Then I added a few apps to test to the folder. Select update folder. Go to deactivate and I select activate. I get a message that it is activated. The result is a mess in the menu (regarding sorting). The apps I select into the folder are still in the menu and the folder is no where to be seen.

Regarding my third suggestion, I suggested that the apps you select to add to the folder in ApMeFo be removed from the pop up menu because one might try to add two apps in different folders. What happens if that happens?

My first suggestion is not necessary if you implement selecting multiple items at a time. Maybe checkboxes? Opening the popup menu for each app is very slow, but allowing you to select multiple items will reduce the number of times you need to open the popup menu. So for the sake of stability this could be omitted.

Regarding my fifth suggestion I started the app normally, editted the folders (still can't create anything) and activated. Then deactivated and the menu was restored without the system becoming unresponsive. So this seems a bit random.

Anyway I will look into why i can't create folders when I get home. I am on my N900 and I have to look at the error on a different screen. Switching to xterm to see the error each time is too confusing.

So far it seems promising though. I missed the folders from Symbian. FYI I don't have catorise or MyMenu installed.
