Yeah it was posted before,dev said "I will get to it when I get to 
it,seriously" on twitter when I asked him for it,thats the reason I switched 
from adw to launcher pro-which is faster,smoother and better in avery way,only 
thing that adw got that pro doesnt is transparent drawer,but they should get 
that in next version.Adw used to be better but new version of pro kills adw.

You could just use the categories feature and hide apps you don't want. Open 
Drawer > Menu > Choose Group > New Group

Try reading my comment, it's a more advanced way of hiding apps (Think of it as 
scenes from Sense for your app drawer).

It's there, I just checked. You have to open the app drawer.

Forgive me...but under the current implementation available in the ADW 
launcher, this features request is not well served

Under the current implementation available...
One creates a new group/catalog -> menu -> setup Catalog -> check the apps you 
want to add to that group/catalog and then check the 'catalog only' option in 
the ADW drawer settings.

Right !!!

1. The apps that have been unchecked while setting up the catalog don't show up 
in the newly created group/catalog.......fair enough......If this was all to 
this...then...implementation is ON-TRACK !!!

Not really !!!
Well lets see the shortcomings...

After the above is done, the apps that were unchecked with the intention of 
hiding are now in the default uncataloged group. As long as this uncataloged 
group was kept away(hidden - and accessible in a difficult manner) this feature 
would have been air tight ! AND SERVED WELL !!!

BUT !!!

This so called hide-intended apps are made easily available through a paginated 
swipe so anybody who is used to a paginated drawer style, will just swipe 
sideways and the HIDDEN apps are revealed to him without a sweat !!!

NOT just that, but the home Docker carries two BIG arrows pointing on either 
sides so a touch on those arrows will take you to the uncataloged group as well

SO THE HIDDEN FEATURE IS NOT REALLY SERVED !!!

TO SERVE WELL :
All thats needed to be done is to hide the uncataloged group by default !!!

AND THE IMPLEMENTATION IS GOING TO BE WELL SERVED !!!

CORRECTION/FIX DIRECTION
========================

Firstly...
Remove the arrows on either side of the bottom Docker unless there are more 
than one user created groups/catalogs the 'uncataloged group' should be 
excluded and not be counted.

Second...
Currently the menu button in the drawer has the following 4 options.

1. Setup catalog
2. Choose catalog
3. Remove catalog
4. Manage applications.

Say we replace the 'Remove catalog' option with say a 'More' option
And this 'More option can have the following 2 options.

1. Remove catalog
2. Uncataloged(hidden) Group.

this way one can just click the menu button in the drawer choose 'More' and 
choose the 'Uncataloged(hidden) group.

FEATURE IMPLEMENTED SUCCESFULLY !!!
