*sigh*
The most dangerous enemy of every developer is his own ego... I know I'm going to regret this once people's devices are getting messed up by that abomination...
Create/Edit and Delete are fully functional by now (icons can be choosen from a file dialog with previews, already existing folders can be selected from a simple list). Still thinking about how to implement adding applications to folders in the most stable way.
And as for the last tab (the unholy "replace hildon.menu" tab), that one will get one big, fat, red, flashing (does QT have flashing text?
) warning and three "are you sure" dialogs...

And I have a minor suggestion for future releases, if you can find out how to do it : add "Use current themes icons" which would bring up icons from that theme, if there is any (e.g. an-DROID has it's own icons for Catorise).

I wonder is it possible to make openssh a requirement to install? At least that way anyone who screwed it up would be able to get back in and delete/modify hildon.menu to get a functioning phone again. Or maybe a "recoverable" version with ssh and a "your on your own if you screw it up" version.
On second thought, even if you bork the menu, ctrl-shift-x will bring up terminal and you can delete hildon.menu and reboot, right?
Seriously, looks like this could be a great little app to have.

I've messed up the menu a couple times in PR1.2, but not enough to hit the watchdog (or fixed it quick enough).

)?I would like to keep SSH out of the big picture, so the less tech savvy won't have to delve too much into the inner workings. I'll include information on how to get things running again (one of them simply being to leave the application running and hitting the deactivate button in case anything went wrong), and I would prefer to keep the worst case scenario at Ctrl-Shift-x level.

I've setup my app launcher with folders just the way I like several different ways, but any time i mod hildon.menu, cpu usage ramps up to about 4% at idle. No big deal, but it pulls on the battery overnight.
guess i can make some "Good-Night" and "Good-Morning" scripts but it shouldn't be that way.
are you far enough along to see if this bumps up hildon-desktop activity at idle?
