Hello LLX Users. Hoping you can help me solve a problem that has appeared in my newest design.
Hello LLX Users. Hoping you can help me solve a problem that has appeared in my newest design.
The Auto Close option under Desktop/Extra Folder Options seems to have stopped working. The folder closes when I open another folder, but not when I launch an app from the folder. Both Auto Close and Close Other Folders are checked.
The odd thing is that this glitch only happens in my latest desktop design, my first since a Marshmallow update a few weeks ago. In earlier desktops, all created under Lollipop, the function is still working.
What have I missed? Thanks in advance.
Phone: OnePlus One
OS: Android 6.0.1 (Cyanogen 13.0)
D5 Creation
Forgot to mention: LLX v 12.8.1 (r2521)
I can’t think of anything. I assume you’ve tried restarting LL?
Chris Chastain , Well, I’ve restarted the whole phone a dozen times or so. Does that count? Also tried Force Stop from Android Settings/Apps.
I’m at a loss. Does Pierre still look in on this thread?
Anne-Elizabeth Hawley yes that counts 🙂
And yes he does.
I tested… it didn’t work for me either, but I restarted the launcher and it started working. I have a shortcut to Lightning Actions – restart app with a red X for an icon, to conveniently restart launcher.
Just now I went back to turn it off and it kept working, until I restarted the launcher… Then it turned off.
Where do I access Lightning Actions, please?
Long press desktop or somewhere, tap the plus to add something, tap shortcut, select lightning action, select restart app
Chris Chastain Well, I’ll be damned. I’ve never used that function before. Thanks! Restarting doesn’t solve the problem, but I’ve learned something new anyway. 😀
Chris Chastain Okay, now I feel incredibly silly. I thought, “Is there something about these 4 folders that makes them different?” There is: I set up a style in one and copied it to the other three…
…and here’s the silly part: there’s an Auto-Close option within the Folder Settings menu that apparently isn’t overridden by the Desktop-wide settings, and that option was turned off.
So I ticked that box in all four folders, updated the style, and bingo. Problem solved.
Thanks for your time and attention. Maybe my lesson-learned will help someone else!
Excellent. Glad you got it sorted.
With so many options, it’s easy to forget where they’re all located.
Yes, I read, but a bit late…
