[CHANGED BEHAVIOR] New installation opens default list differently, can't fix

This is less a glitch or bug I believe but my hard drive recently failed and I was without nwg for around a month. Instead of copying a snapshot over I decided to just throw together a whole fresh install. I'm still back with nwg of course lol. But now when I open the drawer, it selects the first icon in the alphabetical list is selected, where previously it selected the first application in my favorited list at the top. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere? I have been looking for any positional options but I haven't seen any yet.

This is expected, and hasn't changed in a very long time. The latest two changes only fixed some bugs, that could cause occasional crashes, and also added support for Hidden, OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn. See latest releases, please.

So is there a setting somewhere I am missing to be able to change the default selected app when the drawer opens? I just want to be able to open my browser by only pressing enter after the drawer opens. And sadly it doesn't start with an A lol.

No such setting so far. I'll try to add one it this weekend.

Ah alright, I was digging into releases but sometimes that stuff gets past me so I had to ask. Much appreciated, keep up the great work. I often take a stance against change but have loved a lot of the updates lately.

Thank you. I'll look into what you asked about anyway. Just give me some time. 99% percent of most of the shell components development I do myself. Glorious exceptions are swaync and gtklock.

You were right: it behaved improperly when running as a resident instance.
