Folder can create it, but once when it was put in an app folder, then click "Update Folder" button, nothing happens. Unfortunately, this error happens in the 0.9-3 version.
This time it can't be because of a difference in the file system, as the folder itself was already created by ApMeFo.
Let's see, did you get the "Your folder was successfully saved!" message or did nothing happen at all?
If you feel save around X Term, would you mind trying
Code:
python /opt/ApMeFo/Menu.py

So we have a 3th "app" in the repos that changes the menu structure...
MyMenu
Catorise
ad now thisApMeFo
Honestly, I like the icons from MyMenu
Now you can actually choose between "easy to use and hassle free" and "fully customisable". Choice is always a good thing.
(Btw, you could always use the MyMenu icons with ApMeFo, too - you'd just have to make sure they're in the right path.

In fairness to Catorise: the battery drain is a result of a hildon-desktop bug that Catorise/MyMenu expose (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54462&page=5 and https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10412)
Interesting issue is whether ApMeFo does so as well?
HA
But no matter how often and how fast I move in and out of folders, my hildon keeps behaving like a good little GUI framework.
Maybe it's because Catorise is using the system wide hildon.menu while ApMeFo only writes to the .local one?

Great app, installed it and it works. But I deactivated and found a nice easter egg. It causes the apps to restore to alphabetical order!
Sadly it's to slow for me to add each app. Hehe I think doing it by hand would even be faster. So until then I'll stick to the default, but I'll write what you asked for a while back if you still want one.

great app, spent a good hour going cross eyed and have sorted all my apps into folders, can you tell me the path to the file so i can back it up.
i didnt run in to any bugs what so ever, but is there any possibilty of being able to rearrange the folders and icons in the future?

Couple of things I found (0.9-3):
As you might guess, I hand customized my menu (haven't had mymenu or categorize installed). So I already had custom icons and several .directory files (in .local).
1) Found my custom icons no problem. excellent.
2) Found my .directory files, read them, showed them in the list of folders, cool. Allowed me to edit my existing folders. It even kept my Category tags intact.
But it moved my Excludes up into the Includes, you may want to keep that in mind.
3) The select application list could benefit from a couple things:
Alphabetical sort
There are some items that have "NoDisplay=true" in the desktop file. These shouldn't be in the list.
Localization? for instance Media Player shows as mp_app_name in the list?
Otherwise, stellar effort liking it very much.
Other suggestions, I'll second removing already added apps from the list, make it easier to find recently insatalled apps. Add the ability to add apps on the main hildon.menu. I had a couple apps in front of my folders, now they're at the end.

i quite liked the fact that it doesnt remove them once youve added, its nice to be able to add an icon more than once, like gpodder, thats in my media and web folder, as well as a few others. maybe thats just me who wants to do that though lol

Just now and again reloaded N900 rebooted and now all works with version 0.9.3.
Small improvement idea:
It would be nice if one of the folders within himself can decide in what sequence the corresponding apps are displayed. In short, I want to sort the apps in the folder itself.
And it would be possible in the App-listing for the folder to identify the apps have already been assigned to a folder? For example, by a check mark or the name of the folder where the app is integrated.

It should be configurable or, in the better case remove already added apps in default and place a "show all" button near to the menu to show all apps in the moment you want to add one.
