List My Apps

Why is there no "save to file"?

(Stock)Android does not come with a filemanager because most users have trouble navigating directory trees. Adding a "save to file" option would result in files being created and immediately getting lost on many devices. Adding file management capabilities to the app would make the user interface too confusing for the casual user.

What will the variables expand to?

The template editor and the annotations both support variable expansion. The following variables will the expanded for every app item in both editors (note: case matters):

${packagename}

This is the unique key by which an app is identified. For example, the key for List My Apps is 'de.onyxbits.listmyapps'. The packagename plays a major role in finding apps on markets.

How does tagging work?

Tags can be assigned per app from the 'Annotations' screen. An app can have any number (including none) of tags which must be separated from each other by a comma (spaces around commas will be stripped away and ignored). Tags effectively group apps. Their main purpose is to select a collection of apps from the main screen.

Care should be taken in choosing tag names. Tags that are too specific to group apps are as useless as tags that are so general that they group all apps. Here are some suggestions:
