Default suse.yast folder

[brittyazel]

When using this extension (which is amazing btw) on Archlinux, by default I have an appfolder called something like suse-yast that is empty. I always have to add an app to the folder to get it to appear in my activities overview and then right click the folder and delete the folder. This folder doesn't hurt anything by being there, I'm just pretty particular and I don't like seeing it in the list of available folders when I'm moving icons around.

Thanks for the hard work!

the extension doesn't create folders automatically, it looks like an issue for arch maintainers. I've never used Arch or Suse so i don't really know what piece of software is doing this, but keep in mind that appfolders are a default GNOME Shell feature, and any app is free to create or delete as many folders as they want, even scripts could do it with a simple gsettings command line.

Issue also exists in Fedora 29 - there is a folder on list named like that but it isnt showed in applications menu itself. To delete the folder from list I need to:

1. add to the folder an icon
2. delete folder by right-click menu

Here is a video with the issue on my machine: https://youtu.be/FxxMBCvoY0M
Quick translation:
"Dodaj do folderu" == "Add to folder"
"Usuń" == "Delete"

if this does not work, the following method is available

• Dconf editor open
• org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folder-children
• Default value: ['Utilities', 'YaST']
• Change: ['Utilities'] and save
• Gnome restart: alt+f2 r
  ready

Good there is an alternative method - fortunately it wasn't necessary in my case.
To be honest, this isn't big issue, because solution is easy. It just may bother some unexperiences users.

Aaaaand, you should remember that ALT+F2 -> r doesn't work in Wayland, which is default in Fedora's, and maybe also Arch's, GNOME session :) Only Ubuntu currently have set X11 as default

Yes, i don't use wayland in Fedora :)
