I am having some trouble with some of the scripts I am trying to write and am wondering if someone could help me out…

I am having some trouble with some of the scripts I am trying to write and am wondering if someone could help me out or point me in the write direction. Please understand that not only am I new to lightning launcher but I am kind of new to javascript also.

I am trying to have to have some text when tapped on run a script which opens a folder that is in a panel that is in another panel. I can open a folder that is on the desktop bit once it goes in a layer then I am unsure how to direct the code to look for the folder in that panel. I was thinking that it was something like ….

Var f1 = get.containerById(“name of panel”).getItemByName(“folder”);

f1.open();

but that doesn’t work keeps saying that cannot open from null.

My other issue that I am curious about is how to push a variable from LL to tasker. I have figured out how to push one from tasker to LL but don’t know how to do the opposite.

Again if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction, it would be helpful. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi

Hi,

I’m having a bug with Floating Desktop.

On my floating desktop I have a icon, for which I set an action to jump to another desktop on tap.

However when I tap this icon, after I open the floating desktop, nothing happens.

If I set the action of this icon to, for example, open another app, it works fine.

If I manually go to the floating desktop and tap this icon, it also works file, i.e. jumps to the other desktop as required.

Only when I actually use the floating desktop, over another desktop, the shortcut doesn’t work.

Thanks,

Maxim.

I am trying to write a script that will change the background color of a folder when it opens.

I am trying to write a script that will change the background color of a folder when it opens. I tried to change the “bgColor” property of the container, but that seemed to do nothing. (I committed the property edit and then got the property again to confirm it changed and it did, but the folder looked the same.)… I want to change the content and padding color like you can do on this screen of the folder properties. Is there a way?

I’m still a scripting novice with LL, so forgive me for the following question which probably has a simple answer.

I’m missing a basic feature in LL: When I add or remove an item from a folder, I want the folder to automatically rearrange its contents in alphabetical order.

It’s trivial to fetch the container holding the items in the folder, but what then?

I can’t find a built-in sort method, so do I need to write my own? If so, what do I do with my sorted array of items once I have it? How do I assign that back to the container?

I’m probably overthinking this. Maybe there’s a built-in method after all.
