3 months ago ID scrambling
This is inevitable with how badges (and custom badges especially) work - because these aren't official badges they don't have an actual ID associated with them, so instead the ID is generated on install, and depending on the order they're installed in the ID will be different. One possible solution would be hashing the data (or the name?) and generating an ID based on that, but I'm not super convinced that it's worth it yet. Another solution would be to sort by name before installing, you'd still have everything that was already installed which comes after the new badges get messed up (and also this works much worse with sets).
corrupted folder
I'm almost sure this is not an Anemone problem - we only interact with the folder structure through FSUSER which shouldn't be capable of corrupting anything in that way. If you can reproduce it consistently I'll look into it but I have heavy doubts regarding this being an Anemone issue.
badge folders in wrong order
Same as the ID scrambling bit, but this one I actually do think sorting by name being a good solution for. For now I'm going to change this issue to be a feature request for badge folder ordering; if you're able to replicate the corrupted folder open a new issue reporting it.
Description (sorry for multiple issues at a time, if you'd like me to split this up into multiple posts i will.) after using the "install" function after getting new badges, the IDs of the already placed badges will scramble and either disappear or display incorrectly, meaning you have to replace them often (this was a problem with GYTB too.) it's possible that doing this also corrupted an entire subfolder in my badges folder, that i had to delete with GM9. organized folders do not display in alphabetical order on the badge screen.
bottom line, i think the "install badges" function could use some testing.
Steps to reproduce
ID scrambling: get new badges (either downloaded from theme plaza or by making them, zipping them, and organizing them into folders yourself. i do the latter by physically removing the SD card from my system or using the "microSD management" option from the settings menu.) open the anemone app and hit the "install badges" button. when you return to your home screen your badges will display incorrectly.
corrupted folder: same as above. i'm not sure what i did to make this happen. possibly user error but i couldn't tell you what i did and why it was only one folder.
badge folders in wrong order: create a folder in badges/ in the same format as the pre-made "ThemePlaza Badges" folder ("_seticon" png + zip folder with the badges you want.) when you open the badge placing menu, the folders will not be in the correct alpha-numerical order you named them in.
Expected behavior
Screenshots ID scrambling:
as you can see, not only are the badges now a complete mess, but the selected one is invisible.
here's what the bottom screen is intended to look like. (we can talk about my personal tastes somewhere else.)
corrupted folder: N/A - i didn't think to get screenshots of the folder before i deleted it and replaced it myself. when i viewed the folder in FBI, all it had inside was a random file named "USBC". i couldn't open the folder on my computer, nor could i move, delete, or copy it.
badge folders in wrong order:
here are my folders of badges. for clarity, the named order they are displayed in is: all badges, ace attorney 4, themeplaza badges, ace attorney 1, ace attorney 2, 3x1 badges, ace attorney 3, pride flags
