‘Multi Container bookmark’

‘Multi Container bookmark’

This script will make a script that will set the position of all panels inside the desktop/folder in wich it was launched. [Not very difficult to understand, but you need to know how functions work.]

Instructions:

-Copy/paste this script as a new one. Check the ‘Appear in ligthning menu’ and/or ‘item menu’.

-Go to the desktop/folder, place all panels ( and the desktop/folder) as you want and run the script. [smoothly here means not instantly]

-Copy the output script and paste it as a new one.

Now you just need to launch that script.

You can comment suggestions, problems…

var parent = LL.getEvent().getContainer() || LL.getCurrentDesktop();

if(parent.getId()==-1)parent=LL.getCurrentDesktop();

while( parent.getType()!=”Desktop” && parent.getOpener().getType()!=”Folder”){

    parent = parent.getParent();

}

function run(cont){

    var str = “LL.getContainerById(“+

    cont .getId() + “).setPosition(“+

    cont .getPositionX()+”,”+

    cont .getPositionY()+”,”+

    cont .getPositionScale()+”,”+animations+”);\n”;

    var items = cont.getItems();

    for(var i=items.getLength()-1;i>=0;–i){

        if(items.getAt(i).getType()==”Panel”){str+=run(items.getAt(i).getContainer() );}

    }

    return str;

}

var animations = confirm(“Do you want to go smoothly? (not instantly)”);

prompt(“Script to use: Copy, paste and run”,run(parent));

Redraws after exiting full screen app.

Redraws after exiting full screen app.

I have status bar enabled. When exiting apps to desktop icons extend below screen a bit, then desktop redraws to normal size.

Seems like the extension bit is the same height as status bar.

[Solved] – 9.9.8b

[Solved] – 9.9.8b

9.9.7b breaks bookmarks within panels, maybe others?

Edit:

Newly created bookmark to desktop works fine. Existing bookmark in panel, to position within same panel is broken. Also newly created panel bookmarks don’t work either, just checked.

Is there a shortcut or other way to change the default desktop?

Is there a shortcut or other way to change the default desktop?  I’m basically using Tasker and LLX to make a launcher setup with different home screens that are displayed based on the current context (Morning, Day, Night, Work, Out or Music).

Right now the way I’m doing it is to create a shortcut in Tasker that loads the appropriate home screen based on the context, and assign that shortcut to the home key.

v9.9.7 beta for LL and LLX.

v9.9.7 beta for LL and LLX.

What’s new since the last stable release ?

In a nutshell:

– ability to load a template without replacing the current setup: new desktops will be added to the existing ones

– reworked backup/restore/export screen, I hope it will be less confusing when dealing with backups and templates.

– events can now be configured per desktop, and add a few new events (stop point reached, back key, …)

– improved (nested) panel scrolling (will scroll the desktop or the panel according to the “scrollability” of the content)

– scripting (LLX only): still has some major caveats, including reproducible crashes

– a few bug fixed, and many new ones: surprise, surprise !

Since the alpha/beta Google Play system seems a bit “wonky”, do not hesitate to play with opt in/out otherwise you may not receive the update…

I know there are better places to ask, but I was curious about any lesser-known apps or widgets you all use.

I know there are better places to ask, but I was curious about any lesser-known apps or widgets you all use.

I also have a bunch of questions below about things I can’t figure out our discover any workarounds.

A.  Has anyone found a widget or way to make a scrollable wheel formation? Like a dial of apps circling like a wheel?

B.  Has anyone found a widget or way to make apps appear on finger press/swipe and select on finger release?  Best example is the Start Lockscreen or swipepad/glove box.

C.  Does anyone know how to make zooper or tasker scenes cycle through the color spectrum. Another option may be to crop and place live wallpapers in the frontmost wallpaper placeholder but it seems as though gifs may be the only option I can find for animating only part of a screen.

D.  I know I can make things happen “on swipe” from tasker or LLX,  but I like when items drag rather than a triggered sequence of events. The drag/scrolling question is an issue I run into constantly. Such as finding a way to seemlessly diagonal scroll in LLX. Since stop points/desktops don’t rotate, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to drag and scroll diagonally without getting of the track every once in a while. Panels are currently bugged when rotated for many of us, so that is not an option.

I’ll share some of my widgets and little customization quirks I’ve found if there is any interest in the post.
