Hello,

I have just upgraded my Nokia N900 firmware to the official PR1.2 (i'm in the UK). In the 1.2 update the 'More' folder is non-existant and all the apps are on the main menu. Here is where I am confused. How do I create a new folder to sort my apps? I want to be able to create a folder for games and apps... I tried touching an icon for a long time, and all I could do was change its location on the main menu. There was no way (well i think) to create a new folder. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it. THANKS.

Btw, I did try the new userguide which was on the phone, but I couldn't find what I w as looking for.

I'm not sure you can create a folder but try to Install Catorise http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/catorise/

Yh. I did use Catorise before the update. But then, there was no real point in removing the More folder was there? They added a feature (change the order of apps) but then I would say allowing us, users, to create folders would be much more useful.

Yeah I was surprised that this feature wasnt included (or is it ?). Why get rid of More and not provide folders ? Nokia what's the logic here ?

I seem to remember the HK software preview showing folders. Is it really not possible to create folders in the menu?

It was never included in any release. There is a hack for it however.

exactly... well i dont think the feature of creating new folder is there because i cant find it. the user guide isn't much help either... have to use catorise or edit the /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu file.... personally, i think it should be integrated into the UI (maybe it is, but i can't find it)

But personally i think it's not much use, when you can;t put them into folders. All apps which were once in the 'More' folder are in the main application menu. You can rearrange them, but not put them into custom folders. It is an attempt to allow us customise the application menu, but not good enough I reckon.
