Are you planning any more updates or are you considering this pretty much done for now?
I can remove the loading dialog, and simply have the folder close once the application is launched. This would seem to be the best compromise, though it still won't close if the application has no GUI.

There will be more updates, but I also have other projects to update. At the moment I'm working on providing event feed integration for cuteTube. It's almost finished.

My vote is to keep things as they are - I prefer the loading icon to stay.

Great; looking forward to that!

And from what you say people should feel encouraged to continue posting feedback about Meefolders on this thread. Cheers!

So, I am trying to customise my setup a bit. To change the name of a desktop meefolder I can change the relevant line of the meefolder*.desktop file in /home/user/.local/share/applications. But that just changes the icon name in the main app screen - it doesn't change the name of the title in the folder itself. I realise I can delete and recreate the folder I want with the title I want, but if there's a quicker way to do it by editing a file, I'd prefer that. I looked in /opt/meefolders/desktop but no luck. Also if it gives the possibility to change the order of icons within a folder.

EDIT: It looks like everything is stored in ~/MyDocs/MeeFolders/MeeFolders.sqlite.

The values are stored in a SQLite database. The values in the desktop files depend on the values in the database, not the other way around. Changing the values in the desktop files will have no effect on the database. Also, the name of the desktop file is formed using the hex value of the name string, and this hex value is passed as an argument when launching the folder to determine which folder to display. In short, it's best not to mess with the files. I'll add an option to edit the folder name/icon in the application.

One suggestion marxian, just to help users to see which version you're up to, can you please put the current version number in the thread title? Would appreciate it. Merry Christmas! Thanks for the early present

How hacky (or even possible) would it be to place MeeFolders on a separate layer above the normal applications list? So basically let your own icon grid float above the default one, hiding that as long MeeFolders is activated.

Ok i already know it's hacky obviously, but would it be possible?
