Not currently, though an open source rewrite in the future is something that I'll be keen to explore

For drawer folders, it's currently under drawer settings

Not for current version. With the stuff I have learnt from building this, a rewrite could be possible, but I do not have a timeline on that yet

Thanks for the ☕

There are a few available styles, including a more classical grid mode for folders

Thank you. Welcome your feedback here

I can't advise on this, but I suspect not, especially if the task bar is part of Samsung's launcher :(

[–] ock88@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for link, bookmarked for future implementation

[–] ock88@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Currently not, but a major update will be dedicated to enhancing the current search capabilities

[–] ock88@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for the detailed feedback - really appreciate your suggestions. Quite a number of these will be polished up along the way, and new features added (app tags, more gestures and options)

[–] ock88@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not for now, I've not ruled out an alternative open source version, but that will happen with a future rewrite

[–] ock88@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Currently multi touch gestures aren't supported ;)

 

Hi folks,

After numerous feedback and hundreds of changes, I'm happy to share that my project, Octopi Launcher, is ready for open testing.

Below are some key features, with more to come:

  • Foldables support - have totally different layouts on each screen
  • (Auto scrolling) widget stacks
  • Float/ pin a widget on top of home screens
  • Display drawer icons as tiles
  • App drawer folders and favorite apps
  • Assign a nickname to an app (e.g. searching "ff" can instantly launch Firefox)
  • Launch different apps using swipes on an icon
  • Icon pack and shortcut support
  • Resize individual home screen icons
  • Index bar and reachability mode for drawer
  • Option to hide status and navigation bars
  • Notification badges
  • Private space support
  • Lock home screen layout
  • Haptic effects

Shane has also done a video review on a slightly older version, which gives an idea what this launcher can do.

Have a great day!

Thank you so much! A video speaks a million words and yours helped me to instantly identify what's causing this.

What happens is that when you remove apps from a folder until one is left, that app remains as a folder, and currently this launcher doesn't allow you to drag one folder over another.

A workaround is to tap that "folder" and drag that last app out from its "folder", into the other folder you want it to be in.

A fix for this is planned, thanks for highlighting this confusing behaviour ;)

Just pushed out version 2 of my app, which allows you to create scrolling live wallpapers from icon packs, and now emojis as well. I've got a few free codes to give away as well, check it out and let me know your thoughts below!
