falcon's Issues

[wishlist] Desktop Apps integration?

In addition to the existing areas (apps, scopes) it could be useful to have Desktop Apps area. I don't know if that's technically possible, though

[wishlist] Adding addtional actions in app/scope info

It would be nice (specially as a replacement for actual apps scope) in addition to Favirite and Launch to have:

• Hide. To hide an app or scope from main Falcon scope
• Info. To show info from the store and a method to rate
• Remove. To uninstall app/scope from device

Translation of Falcon

Nice work on this scope!
Is it possible to translate it (I am not familiar with apps written in Go)?
I can help for the French translations.

Ubuntu store is listed on ubports ut device

Device: Fairphone 2
Os: Ubports Ubuntu touch devel r273
Falcon version: 2.02
Icon pack: None active

The Ubuntu store has been removed by ubports team, but is still listed as a scope in falcon. There is no icon, and clicking it does nothing. refreshing falcon does nothing.

Should it be removed in falcon, or should ubports team clean up something? Or does the user need to clear some cache ( which one)?

M10 update didn't work well

Updating was not fruitful on m10.
Update seemed to go well but theme was lost and not able to install it again.
Tried to uninstall, reboot install again. That made new features to work (icon size, display options) except for hide apps.
Tried to delte config ini and app folder from .local, no difference.

[wishlist] More icon size setting

Falcon scope is great idea! I've just installed open store and I'm exciting about Falcon. But honestly I prefer smaller icons (just like the ones in default apps scope). Is it able to add the option?

[wishlist] Number of icon size (or columns) control

It is very nice that icon size adapts to screen size but it would be possible to control the number of icons columns that is displayed? Or the maximum size of the icon?

The idea would be have a bit of control in how many apps are displayed.
