Support moving multiple apps into a category #30

I have a lot of apps already installed on my phone. I don't mind categorizing them into groups, but the problem is that it is very tedious right now.

A UX I like is how Nova Launcher handles it. If you dig through the menus to edit folders or tabs in Nova, it will present a menu choice to edit the apps contained within the folder/tab. If you touch that option, it will present a modal window with a checklist of all apps installed. (Those apps contained within are already checked.)

Something similar, to be able to mass-assign a lot of apps to a category is one of my personal blockers to using Silverfish as my main launcher.

We've already discussed this, and it's something we will implement at some point, hopefully not long left :)

The way we've thought is to either pop up a dialog if the user drops the app on the same tab or place, with options such as Hide, Rename and Move apps (which would show a checkbox on the applications to mass-move); or under a planned Settings activity (or probably both places).
