Applications Library

Applications is the full library nested under Home, not an extra top-level tab. Use Home > Applications to browse configured folders, favorites, pinned apps and recents.

Home integration

The Continue carousel surfaces pinned, recent and favorite applications; Last folder is available after a valid path has been visited. SELECT cycles Grid, List and Carousel in the Applications library. Filters include All, Favorites and device categories.

What is scanned

Only configured Application folders are scanned. Defaults:

mc:/APPS/
mc:/BOOT/
mass:/APPS/
mass:/BOOT/

Each configured root includes one subfolder level. This avoids silently crawling every attached filesystem.

Manage scan roots

Open Settings → Home & applications → Application library → Application folders.... Each current root is labeled “this folder + one subfolder.” Add Folder chooses an exact root; Restore Defaults restores the standard memory-card and mass roots.

Presentation

The dashboard can show application metadata and artwork when present. Long titles use bounded marquee behavior. Unfocused app rendering has stable alpha/scissor state so memory-card-style icons do not become half rendered.

Favorites and app metadata

Application options can add/remove Favorites, pin a shortcut, edit metadata and show the app in File Browser. Favorite changes show a toast. Hiding an app does not delete its ELF and a later library refresh can reveal it again.

Launching

ELFs use the shared loader path. Optional argument sidecars and the Text Editor's “Launch with these arguments” action can provide custom argv.
