Hi, LL users
((English is not my mother-father-tongue ^^)
My situation is as follows:
I set up 10 more folders in “My Drawer”, and placed all my apps to their relavant folder. It was a little tedius job.
But in current, these folders are no use in Desktops AFAIK.
I wanted to add some foders(created in My Drawer) to Desktop, but I couldn’t. I had to recreate folders in Desktop again…
Folders of Desktop and Draw are absolutly independent.
How about providing LL’s shortcut of “My Drawer’s some Folder”. If then, we can use LL’s drawer folder in Desktop and other app.
For example,
I had used LMT launcher with other normal (Go, Nemus) launchers before meeting LL.
LMT is always behind the screen, and if user swipes screen edge, its pop menu is open. The good thing is that we can access menu in any time (not only on laucher screen, but also on normal app’s window)
I’ve used “Smart shorcuts” app, which provide shortcuts of app folders((Smartshorcuts calls it as TAG) and and added its shortcut(of app folder) to LMT’s pie menu. So in any screen I can lauch any app without exiting to laucher.
As a result, I have two independent app category systems in LL’s My Drawer and Smart shortcuts. If LL provide shotcut of Drawer folder, it could be very easy to set up menu system in LLs Desktop itself and other floating laucher or etc….
Request Feature:
Shortcut of “My Drawer’s Folder”
Thanks.

Well, the desktop and the app drawer serve different purposes, but I understand your problem anyway.
There are two ways to implement this:
– either the shortcut in the home screen could open the folder as other regular folders
– or the shortcut would launch the app drawer which would automatically open the requested folder
The first solution seems nice but it has a number of caveats: from the home screen, you could add or remove items in this folder, including widgets. Currently this seems to me like a dangerous possibility because removing apps from app drawer folders will prevent them to appear in the “all apps” section for instance, adding apps would lead to duplicates, and some other shortcuts would not behave correctly. I don’t know how would widget work in the app drawer 😉 That said it would open some interesting opportunities.
The second solution is way simpler to implement and also safer, but not as nice as the first one !
What do you think about these possibilities ?

I would be fine with option 2 if when you closed the folder you wound up back where you were on the desktop. In other words it also closed the app drawer.
