You mean automatically doing folders by categories ? It's the next "milestone", it should be done next week

An option In the extension menu to organize the apps in folder automatically. example

Because of this, "an option in the preferences window" is not how i will implement it.

The right-click menu on an appfolder will show a "Add a category" submenu, and if a category is already set to a folder there will be a "Remove a category" submenu (it is the origin of ddnexus' issue: most distros have 2 folders by default, Sundry and Utilities, which don't directly contain apps, but only categories, that can't be removed by the extension for now).

I'm aware this is not a perfect way to do it (mainly because it means you have to create manually folders), but I prefer that the user can create/delete/remove what he want, and only what he want, and only when he explicitly want to do it. Especially, i can't just destroy existing settings during initialisation of the extension: in your mockup...

• if the "check button" is not clicked by default, it mean the extension should empty the 2 default appfolders without the approbation of the user.
• if it is clicked by default, it would mean creating folders without the approbation of the user.
