How to add apps to favorites (top section) in UT? [Solved]
-
@dobey The launcher can get crowded. I'd like to use that for frequently used and the favorites one for less frequently used apps.
How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

Another option with OTA12 RC is to use the Sprint app that is available in the Open Store.

@Opolork
If the launcher get crowed it's because you have too much favorites
There is also launcher modular which I know is being polished before release for the OTA12
BTW, sprint app will probably need to be updated or compiled to arm64 (?!)I'm using few apps on a daily basis and I found that the launcher is well enough : GPS, Teleports, Morph, Bank, Domotic, Social media
Oh, I just realized that with OTA12, Phone and Messaging won't be isolated so add them to the list... -

@AppLee I don't get what you mean by Phone and Messaging won't be isolated
-
@kugiigi Now the phone app and the messaging app are on top with the "system" apps.
But I realized that with OTA12 they now will be located like other apps regarding their name. -
I too miss the 'favorites' function, but I more fail to see why there aren't any options for sorting the entries in the drawer. Any way you want as long as it's alphabetical...
Simply adding a sort-by-most used view would solve much of the problem. Or sorting by categories would be nice. I'd prefer something built into the core function than adding additional launchers and programs. Just my musings.
-
Or maybe being able to shuffle them around in the grid. Like the launcher.

Because you haven't submitted a merge request to implement any sorting features.
Sorting by most used applications was indeed a planned feature, but it was not completed before Canonical dropped development. All the necessary underlying parts are not there yet, and nobody is working on them. If we keep waiting for such things, we'll never get anything released.
