apps in sub-folders?

Closed this issue · 6 comments

will Gray also search for apps inside sub-folders of Application folder?

or may us drag-n-drop apps, which maybe not in Application folder, onto Gray window?

Right now it only parses the /Applications folder + adding the Finder to the list.
We will add more folders in the future, probably pretty soon, when life allows :)

@greatoe in version 0.9.1, Gray will scan additional folders in /Applications.
However, it does not go through the directories recursively, so any third-party apps that add their folders in /Applications will not appear. I'm guessing that is what you meant, if so... then I'll just keep the issue open and continue to work on it. Cheers!

Yes you are right, I just want Gray to scan all the subfolders within /Applicaitons. Thank you.

@greatoe That should be doable with a recursive method, I'll look into it :)

@greatoe good news, version 0.9.3 is out and it includes a refactored application parsing method so applications that use subfolders in /Applications should appear in the list of applications.

Download it and take it for a spin :) -

Version 0.9.4 also improves this behavior :)
