It’s not a known bug, could you provide more details? I just tried creating a home screen folder with 4 apps, and am able to.

Do you mean the A-Z bar on the right of the drawer in Microsoft Launcher?
I’ve been working on a launcher for a while now, do help me test it out!

Do give my work on progress launcher a try
Great suggestion on the “wizard”/ guide on first launch. The launcher starts a bit empty otherwise.
As for the app sorting, is there a reason why you prefer a permanent sort choice (by date)?
App shortcuts are definitely on my to-dos, and they will be supported as swipe/ gesture actions as well.
It will be priced very competitively, as it’s a personal project and I do not need to pay anyone else ;) Nova’s model before it’s bought over was great. i still recall being part of those who paid $0.10 for it. The Google group is how Google currently handles closed beta sign-ups, not very intuitive, I agree.
Thank you and look forward to hearing any issues you faced
I’ll share here if I open source this or a variant of this
Do let me know any issues you encounter
Used the plural of Octopus, perhaps I should go with Octopus Launcher instead?
Not in the immediate future, but I have been thinking about this since I wrote the first bits of code.
Fair comment. I do not have trackers that may pose a privacy issue, and it will remain so.
I plan to follow the model of Niagara and Nova launcher, but without recurring subscriptions and tracking. Closed beta testers will receive free codes to unlock the full version, so they get to enjoy all features they have now.
Not at the moment, it’s something I have been thinking ever since I started, so I haven’t ruled that out in future
Thanks! By theme you mean color theming right?
Can you elaborate on smart theming for icons?
I’m building one right now, which key features/ new feature would you all like to see in a launcher?
Simple Launcher - basic but gets stuff done
Yes, it you can set it to as low as 20 fps. For now there’s no static/ still mode yet, but was experimenting with it recently.
Thank you so much! A video speaks a million words and yours helped me to instantly identify what’s causing this.
What happens is that when you remove apps from a folder until one is left, that app remains as a folder, and currently this launcher doesn’t allow you to drag one folder over another.
A workaround is to tap that “folder” and drag that last app out from its “folder”, into the other folder you want it to be in.
A fix for this is planned, thanks for highlighting this confusing behaviour ;)
