I am wondering how is folder view sorting? I have folder view running and I have scripts that I would like to have in a specific order and no matter how I name them the order doesn't change in folder view. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The properties button does nothing when clicked, thus I can not change the menu from the default home. I want to make it look into a folder in my documents like I always had it, but I can't change it now.
I'm on the newest screenlets development release via ppa provided at screenlets.org.
Please find a fix, its been this for months, and I want my folderview/launcher I have always enjoyed back!
Thank you.

I generally would like to click "Show desktop" for the sole purpose of getting to my FolderView screenlets.

next:
apps->compiz->general->allscreens->options->hide_skip_taskbar_windows (unmark)
and will be all right.

The thing is, the screenlet code looks very inconsistent... all over the place the code uses __name__[:-9] to strip the Screenlet, and sometimes it checks using endswith("Screenlet") and sometimes it doesn't. So nearly everything works, but the init stuff isn't reading the FolderView1.ini file, instead looking for:
HOME/.screenlets/F/default/FolderView1.ini
as it has stripped the last 9 chars from __name__. Note that it gets the file correct when WRITING the data, just not when reading it to instantiate a new screenlet object.
I'd call this a bug in screenlets for not checking, and not breaking consistently (classic problem of errors failing silently when not explicitly silenced) but it's also your problem since they don't seem to be supporting that code anymore (but I like your screenlet!)

I'm not sure if you're maintaining either project or just left screenlets. At any rate, many of the persistence bugs are fixed by adding "Screenlet" to the __NAME__ attribute in the FolderViewScreenlet.py file. This is easily done by users and developer alike :)

Greetings from Chile
I really like your work on this tool.
I only don't know how to 'erase', or delete some of the Folderview 'windows' that I've created. I can close them one by one, after startup , when all of the are on the desktop. Is there a way to selectively (and definitly) delete some of them?
Thanks again, and keep the good work!
