I lost all of my app folders in the app picker. Now all apps are listed one by one in an alphabetical order. I tried to reset /org/gnome/desktop/app-folders dconf directory and /org/gnome/shell/app-picker-layout dconf key, log out and then log back in. But it didn’t help.
gnome-menus is installed on my system and I might be misremembering but I think when I had logged in after installing it for the first time, GNOME had automatically put some apps in automatically created app folders.
How do I ask GNOME to automatically create standard app-folders and put apps in them?
Thanks for the reply and sorry that I forgot to mention, GNOME Shell does create entries in /org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folder-children but they are always ['Utilities', 'Pardus', 'YaST']. Utilities seems to be created correctly, however, I do not know from where did GNOME Shell find YaST and Pardus. Their associated desktop-directories files don’t exist on my system (as far as I know). Also, YaST and Pardus are not shown in the app picker as they are empty.
It seems like a GNOME Shell bug but I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong here as I am using Arch Linux installed manually and each package installed one by one, not the whole GNOME group together. I’m pretty sure I’ve messed up something somewhere.
