Thanks for the new version!!
Is there a "workaround" to keep the folders when installing the new version?
Or do I really need to add ALL my apps in new folders again?

EDIT2: Doing it this way also has the advantage that the app icon will still be available inside Meefolders when you select a folder to add icons to it; otherwise every time Marxian releases an update you'd have to go through the tedious process of naming the .desktop files back again for them to show up in Meefolders when you recreate your folder structure, and then renaming them a second time to stop them showing up in your main app screen again.
So in its current version adding the NotShowIn key to a .desktop file WILL stop Meefolders from showing that icon in its icon view. So if Marxian does decide to assume that users will add that key rather than rename the .desktop file, he'll have to add the capability for Meefolders to show icons whose .desktop files have that line. However this means that other icons the user will no be familiar with will also show up (there are a ton in /usr/share/applications with that line) which could be confusing, and/or messy. Now not sure what the best solution is here.

I think Marxian's done a great job, and if it happens to be different from what will be implemented in 1.2, that's no bad thing. Perhaps it will even be better? But that shouldn't stop him looking, of course, if he wants to (although I think Nokia would have to approve that as it's their intellectual property).

I have found some bugs with the latest version:
Some icons are not shown. E.g. 5inarow from Nokia store has no icon, just the caption.
Umlauts don't work. E.g., if you create a folder "Büro", you'll get a weird question mark character instead of the ü.
Edit: that folder wouldn't open even.

so far so good
just wait a new version to hide the icon in default app menu, it is inconvenience to add a line to every desktop file.

@marxian: one or two widgets are now starting to show up as icons/apps. For example there is the widget that shows the device's IP address, and there is a hack that makes the calendar app show the current day of the month instead of "21" all the time. Does/will Meefolders support these kinds of dynamically updated icons?
