Quickly convert folder to app pop-up

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd love to be able to swipe on a folder to open the folder's "default" app (or maybe just the first app).

It might actually make more sense to open the default app when tapping the folder, and swipe to open the folder, or even to make a toggle setting to invert these actions (tap vs swipe to open).

Here's my proposed solution:

The current app pop-up allows users to achieve similar behavior, however, there is a constraint that requires the user to start over and build the whole app again in order to switch to a different app.

Solution: Add a toggle switch in the sheet menu for each pop-up folder, allowing the user to enable or disable the cover mode. With this feature enabled, the first app in the folder will open with tap action and swiping right on the folder will reveal all apps within it (open the pop-up folder).

Folder Icon: The folder icon can be updated to show the icon of the first app in the folder, accompanied by a folder badge, similar to the work apps badge, to indicate that it is a pop-up folder.

İt seems little bit complicated, Niagara follow simple design. Maybe it's useful for u but I don't know it's useful for all of us.

Very similar to Action Launcher. Woudl be good to able to set the swipe to show a widget as you can on an app

@Amorphous404 thanks for the mockup and cool idea. We might add something very similar: A button similar to your cover mode switch that swaps the folder with an app pop-up that was previously inside the folder. This would also allow you to quickly change the first app of the pop-up. Aside from the missing folder badge, I think the feature would behave the same as your suggestion. @ATXMJ until we add that, I recommend manually converting your folder to an app pop-up: https://help.niagaralauncher.app/article/115-pop-ups @Lorestan00 yes, all our pop-ups behave the same way, so you can add shortcuts and widgets to both app pop-ups and folder pop-ups.
