[Announce] AppLocker - lock/hide your applications
 

This is a very simple application
Just lock/hide your installed applications

The first time you run the app, it asks for the new password.
After this you never can change the password (the only way is deleting /home/user/.config/cepiperez/applocker.conf file)

The way it hides applications is simple: rename app.desktop to app.desktop1 in /usr/share/applications/hildon folder.

If you want to remove the app remember to unlock all apps!

gonna try it out. thx

Sugestion: instead of "hide" the icon, change the program called for it for your application. When selecting the icon, ask for the password, and if it is correct launch the original program.

Good work! :)

I prefer hide apps
This way you can give you phone to anybody and they don't know you're disabling things

Re: [Announce] AppLocker - lock/hide your applications
 

I agree! But it's a lot of work (and waste of time) open AppLocker, unlock the icon, start the app, lock the icon, close AppLocker.

And if you have Catorise installed wait some seconds to rebuild the menu.

Re: [Announce] AppLocker - lock/hide your applications
 

I Suggest you add a postscript to the debian folder that unlocks all apps when it is removed, instead of forcing the user to do this manually.

locked applications can still be launched from terminal AFAIK, but you will have to type their name or directly execute their binaries . so if you happened to lock applocker , launch it from terminal then unblock it .
or unblock it manually by renaming it's .desktop file back to .desktop .
or apt-get reinstall applocker , that should also restore it's .desktop file .
if i am wrong on any of the above , some one plz correct me .
