Hi Ricardo,
I just found out that one can, indeed, create folders by dragging one app on
top of another in LaunchPad. Only trouble is I can't seem to undo it like I
can on my iPhone. What I did was to drag Keynote on top of Numbers. A
"Productivity" folder was created with KeyNote and Numbers in it. I then
decided to add Pages to this folder, but, something went wrong. Pages ended
up in a second "Productivity" folder along with iCal, and, I can't for the life
of me drag it out of there! I'm using the VO comma to mark an app for dragging
and VO period to drag to the place I want it.
Does anyone have any idea how to undo this folder creation? On the iPhone it's
easy to drag apps out of folders and get rid of a folder that way, but no such
luck in LaunchPad!
BTW: I like using the LaunchPad, aside from the few issues I'm encountering.
Thanks,
Russell
