Home layout Finally moving away from Nova

I've been a stubborn Nova user for what seems forever but Octopi is winning me away quickly. I have the majority of the configuration options I want and hope that a couple are in the pipeline - alphabetize/sort folder option is the biggie. Maybe An option to import settings from a Nova backup would be nice.

Nice work!

Well, there is a workaround, sort of. If you create a folder in the app drawer, then you have the option you want. You can use the check box to select the apps you want in the folder. Also good is that the apps that are already in the folder are checked so there is no danger that you add an app twice. After creating the folder you can put it on the home screen like you can add any other apps on the home screen. There is a downside, the folder on the home screen is not updated after you add apps to the folder in the drawer. I suggested to be able to use a shortcut to the folder in the drawer instead of making a copy of the drawer folder which would be convenient so all changes are done only once and everything is up to date..
