Would it be possible to only “partially apply” APK-templates?
Would it be possible to only “partially apply” APK-templates?
I mean: I soon publish an update of my template. Mostly I added many new styles (read: “Desktop Settings”), added on requests some new folders and only a liiitle bit changed the layout.
But: If users download the update, they need to reapply it, right? But if they do… i.e. all their sorted apps in folders, their own widgets are lost.
Another idea: The styles i my template are saved as “desktop settings”, containing ALL settings. How about “themes” that contain only a subset of the desktop settings (delta) like colors etc?

I think that’s a killer idea

Yes, and in the same category of requirement. The possibility to import an APK on new desktop (without killing the existing ones). That would allow to try different layout without having to recreate all widget every time.

That’s a great idea, but not so easy to implement. Maybe one thing that could be done is to apply a pack without actually loading items (only the desktop settings). I don’t know what would be the border effects but that’s worth a try.
Loading desktops from a template while keeping existing ones is much more complex because many links need to be translated so that imported desktops do not conflicts with existing ones.
Somehow I feel like both things will need to be implemented…

Pierre Hébert When loading from same template, keeping items, only loading settings should work. Looked inside template files, would be plausible.
