This bug/suggestion is related to the well known and old bug of the ‘duplicated app in the app drawer’

Sometimes, when an app is updated, the app drawer instead of replace the app, it adds it again as a new item keeping the old one (I think it is because the main activity changes, but didn’t tested)

This leaves the real app and a ghost one, a refresh fixes it.

Bug: when you click the ghost app the ‘this item is not installed’ dialog is shown, but the drawer gets closed immediately, so you can’t do anything (uhm, I have the auto-exit checked…how would it be without that?) Anyway, as I said with this option you can see the dialog, but it gets closed immediately and you can do anything.

Suggestion: when the launcher detects that this dialog is called from the app drawer, delete the item directly. Or if you prefer ask the user to do a refresh.

I was testing around, and came up with this.

Animations: ‘fade’ and ‘slide’. If you don’t specify any (or a wrong one) a random one will be played each time.

Before you ask: the way this script works only allow those two animations. I’m sure it is possible to use others (maybe even create custom ones) but I couldn’t find a way.

The repository Importer app has been updated. V 1.5

The repository Importer app has been updated. V 1.5

It contains a big change, I hope it doesn’t  mess up, because now the manager script is not needed, and it should be automatically deleted.

Another big improvement is a new subscription feature made by Lukas Morawietz : You can ‘subscribe’ to a script and you will be notified when it changes (you need to open the app in order to check, no push notification)

There is a new settings screen, to not overload the dropdown menu.

And now the app will check for the version of LL … or LLTrial. It supports both apps now, and if it doesn’t find anyone it will take you to the play store. (Thanks Danbar Danbar  for testing)

Also it will check for the version of LL, because the app is incompatible now with old versions and it will ask to update or close.

Any problem or suggestion just comment 🙂

Small script that lets you change the Z order of the items in a container from a custom dialog.

Small script that lets you change the Z order of the items in a container from a custom dialog.

Instructions:

Run the script from a container.

The list of all the items in that container will be shown (type+label+name). The first item of the list is the top most one. The last item the bottom most one.

Choose two of them to exchange their Z order.

Repeat.

Click exit to exit.

Note: I tested it some few times(in fact I had the idea less than two hours ago) and it works, but as usual maybe it don’t work in some specific situations. Anyway the script only change the Z order, nothing more.

A suggestion for consistency.

A suggestion for consistency.

(Every time I say ‘menu’ I’m referring to the lighting pop-up menu, by default on long click)

Edit: this menu have other entries too (add item, edit layout…) I’m only writing the ones referring to ‘settings’

Now:

When you open the menu from the desktop you have

-Android settings

-Lighting settings

—All settings

—Current desktop

—Lock

When you open the menu from a panel you have

-Android settings

-Panel settings

-All settings

When you open the menu from a folder you have

-Android settings

-Folder settings

My suggestion:

When you open the menu from the desktop you will have

-Settings…

—Lightning Launcher

—Current desktop

—Android

-Lock

When you open the menu from a panel you will have

-Settings…

—Lightning Launcher

—Current panel

—Android

When you open the menu from a folder you will have

-Settings…

—Lightning Launcher

—Current folder

—Android

This is a small script I made myself to make better use of the new material effect, but this can be used in other things too.

The script provided is made so it takes the average color of the icon of an item, and apply it to the selected color (configurable). You can use it on an item (running it from the item) or in all items in a container (running it from the container).

The script consist of a function (that you can use for other things if you want) that takes an image and a number, and returns the exact average color of the image (using all pixels, half of them,…depends on the number). It can take time, specially with high resolution ones and using all the pixels.

If you just want to get the color and don’t change it in a while, use all pixels (resolution=1), but if you plan to implement it dynamically, better use less pixels (resolution=66 means approximately 100/66=1.5% of the pixels)

Note: in the video that was my testing desktop, and there were other items out of view. The process is slow, but no so much.

Anyway you can change the resolution settings and it will be faster (but less precise)

Pierre Hébert​​​ In an old post, someone had a bug with Jay M posted a suggestion about the script editor, and you suggested to not show the keyboard automatically.

Testing a lot with the script editor, in my opinion it will be better to not show it right after you open the app (and also when you close the drawer) and leave it to the user as a normal textbox (so it is shown when you click)

But maybe in general people like it to do that.

Comments? Opinions?

Repository importer app version 1.4

Repository importer app version 1.4

The main change is the app icon update, to match the same as LL.

Also there is now a new way to load scripts. From the user side nothing changed.

And Lukas Morawietz improved the ‘there is a new script’ toast: now it says wich one.

Repository Importer update V1.2 (available in some hours, you already know that ;)

Repository Importer update V1.2 (available in some hours, you already know that 😉

V 1.2.1 , fixed crash when opening from LL’s editor

IMPORTANT: Due to a slightly different way of saving the data, the manager needs to be loaded again. Just follow the steps as the first time (the script will be updated too)

You can now open links related from the repository with the app. When you click a link, if it is of the wiki it will ask you to open it with the browser or with the app (unless you specify a default action)

If you use Chrome, it will ask you even when navigating. If you use Firefox you can use the ‘open in app’ button in the bar

Added long-press back button to close

If you find any bug, or something that is not the expected behavior, just say it 🙂

(Pierre Hébert​​, not sure about this, but can I set those posts in the ‘App update news’ section? If not I understand it is for LL only, don’t worry)
