This works good enough for me on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done

(See http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/05/add-categories-to-gnome-shell-dashboard for the complicated way.) GNOME Software has built-in support for editing app folders but this feature doesn't work in the 3.20 version. Although the feature is hard-to-find unless you know it's there from reading a guide on the internet, it's a nice improvement for Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS. These app folders are not used by Unity, LXDE or XFCE. [Test Case] 0. Install the Software update, then log out and log back in to be sure the old gnome-software is not running in the background. 1. From Ubuntu GNOME (or at least from GNOME Shell), run the Software app. 2. Switch to the Installed tab. 3. Click the checkbox icon in the toolbar. 4. Select Aisleriot Solitaire 5. Click Add to Folder... 6. Click the + button and add a folder named Games. Click Add. 7. Click Add. 8. Open the Activities Overview. 9. In the bottom left, click the Show Applications button. 10. In the bottom center, click the All button. 11. Scroll down. You should see a Games folder with Aisleriot inside it. [Regression Potential] The patch to fix this comes from GNOME, where it was cherry-picked to the GNOME 3.20 branch (after 3.20.3). Since the feature is completely broken currently and the patch will be picked up other distros shipping GNOME 3.20, the regression potential is low. Two patches are needed: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?h=gnome-3-20&id=53e8e0842f28533c1df3a1504191182a67e9c963 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome- software/commit/?h=gnome-3-20&id=81c67726cb9e3dd29c961cc857c6b5b43bf9bf45 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-software/+bug/1590115/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
