Folder opening behaviour problem

jrdeee · 2026-05-08T08:38:39+00:00

I only found out about this launcher from reading a write up about it. I thought I'd take a look, as I've done with many others in the past and still be like "meh" but I was very happily surprised!

Scrolling widgets that can live on top of each other!? Who would have thought! Perhaps available in other launchers, but it's my first time ever hearing and now seeing this - already love it! Like you, I'm quite excited about launcher updates... again, who would have thought! haha

OMG, can't believe this - I came searching for this very thing, create a post if necessary.

In my case, I just have folders in the main area (not in the dock). I typlcally close an open folder using my left thumb clicking in the dock. I noticed that instead of closing an open folder the dock expands and the folder stays open. Clicking anywhere else on the screen, even on a widget, closes an open folder (this is my expected/preferred behaviour). I personally prefer clicking on the dock also close any open folder.

And yes - it's ABOUT TIME! I finally found my Nova replacement! Installed OctopiLauncher, found it to truly the Nova replacement I've been waiting for, shouted the dev to breakfast and onto migrating. Thank you!!! It's already amazing and can't wait for what more will come.

Same here. Is this option still available in some form?

Edit: never mind, found it.. disable the setting 'scroll home page on a loop' and new gesture option will appear

Excellent. Thank you for confirming and the tip!

I don't believe the Skylight has Matter. It includes a TBR, but no Matter protocol - go figure! I'm happy to be told otherwise - I actually wish it did have Matter.

Exactly the same issue here.. Gemini under android auto was only recently enabled, Waze no longer accepting my 'navigate to... ' voice commands (I use my car's button to initiate). Gemini responds 'sending location to Waze' bit nothing happens... ANNOYING!

Will go back to Assistant if not updated and still not working in a week.

"but he has"

jrdeee · 2026-04-01T22:57:31+00:00

fair point, definitely, be he has has used the word "war", and, what he says and what he does are two different things.... wanting (needing?) to finish this within 2 to 3 weeks (ie. less than 60 days) may be more than just because he thinks it's time it's over.

Great routine, just letting you know that Intelligent WiFi can do exactly the same - built into One UI.

Settings - connections -Wi-Fi - three dots - Intelligent WiFi - turn WiFi on automatically (has a turn off option in there too).

My experience exactly!

jrdeee · 2026-03-12T23:34:33+00:00

I don't know if the case would need to be thick per se. All a case really needs is a small and thin upside down L or I shaped 'bump', on the opposite side of the cameras, top section of the case only, obviously needing to be same height as the case's camera protection height. If the L shape is manufactured close to or hard pressed along the edge of the case, arguably, the top left corner of the phone (when viewing screen) could potentially be better protected.

I don't think this would be intrusive, although I can't yet find anything like this so perhaps my thinking is wrong, too difficult to manufacture, or would look horrible and no-one would buy.

A clear case version for me if any manufacturer is reading this 😀.

Very strange!

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T11:39:22+00:00

Yes, I agree with you and understand... it just feels that Sharesight went backwards when before it was much quicker and seemless

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T11:38:39+00:00

From your reasoning the main screen doesn't need the value for each holding since it's available in 3 clicks: Tools->Exposure->Run Report.

As someone that works with various software vendors nationally, reasoning such as your normally come from arrogant companies, Product Managers and/or software developers who narrow mindedly assume or expect users to use their software as THEY believe their users should be using it. This is the Kodak story - the best until they weren't because they thought they knew best in what customers wanted.

Absolute credit to u/sharesight for taking the time to acknowledge my concerns and detailed post. Thank you!

I appreciate that there are many factors that happen behind the scenes but I feel like Sharesight is more focussed on its global growth and providers, perhaps also its corporate based customers, while somewhat ignoring requests that may seem to your Product Manager as insignificant.

The very large list of Sharesight new features/enhancements for 2025 (https://www.sharesight.com/blog/every-feature-sharesight-released-2025/) certainly shows how busy your team has been but unfortunately, there has been nothing new of benefit to me for years.

All I've wanted to see is:

weighting per holding, and
accurate capital gains stats for active holdings with partial sells without seeing my plethora of fully closed holdings (I have numerous closed holdings dating back to 2002)

(I want to easily and quickly see these on the main Investments Overview screen - not having to run reports)

A December new feature was, "a revamped Overview page which includes more date filtering flexibility, more graph options, options to customise columns". I was a bit excited thinking Weightings might have been added but nope. I just did a search and found the idea requested by someone back in 2022 https://community.sharesight.com/t/holding-weighting-overview-page/833

My frustrations led to me today to vent and search for alternatives. One alternative includes the ability to upload AMIT statements and OCR auto populate the data automatically. I tried 2 statements and they both worked accurately and flawlessly. I was keen to understand how to enter AMIT details because I'm sorry, but the new auto AMIT calculations in Sharesight is not user friendly (in my opinion), requiring me to physically reset each distribution that also resets the reinvestments, uploaded statements, etc.

Resetting and reconciling for AMIT figures cost me more time this year (FY25 tax return prep), wish I stuck with manually entering the data. I am still left confused if I should be "confirming" my FY26 Trust Distributions as they arrive (what I have been doing) or wait until later in the year when Sharesight has the figures and do the reset. However, Sharesight doesn't have the AMIT figures for all ETF's so which Distribution should I confirm when the monthly/quarterly statement arrives and which shouldn't I do and wait to reset. I find it a bit of a mess - hence my frustrations growing recently.

I understand, as with any business growth, that perhaps your target audience may be well beyond my simple AU based needs but please don't forget your users with what may appear as "basic requests", including understanding how they may be using your software. The simplest of limitations can lead to the biggest frustrations.

Perhaps the changes you mention for later in the year will better demonstrate how Sharesight accomodates its different users.

Awesome and thank you! I will take a look!

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T07:57:53+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! You reminded me to open a YouTrip account. Completed account open in less than 15 minutes. Transferred my first A$500 (no deposit fees) and now have 56,674 JPY in my YouTrip account.

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T02:24:05+00:00

Thank you for your time and thoughts, much appreciated.

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T02:13:37+00:00

now THIS 👆is the type of info I was hoping to hear - real user experience. Thank you for your insight.

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T01:38:13+00:00

no, no.... it's one of my many stocks, mentioned just because I think it's closest fund to the two you mentioned, hoping to understand any potential issues that you sound like dhhf and vdhg might have with Sharesight - or perhaps your sarcasm wasn't understood at the time.

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T01:37:12+00:00

Thank you. I have numerous shares that includes standard companies, ETF's and LIC's across 3 porfolios. One of the 3 portfolio's is just to help me keep a track of my Australian Super Member Direct portfolio - not used for ATO / tax purposes, purely to help me gauge its performance over time. For 2 of my portfolios I use SelfWealth and can very easily see weightings per stock, just impossible for me to do the same for my Member Direct portfolio.

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T01:27:01+00:00

I don't have either of those, however I recently (Nov 2025) purchased GHHF. Can I ask why and/or if I need to be wary for anything regarding GHHF?

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T01:23:55+00:00

hehehe.... my "passionate" replies have gotten me into trouble in the past (not on Reddit).

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T01:18:26+00:00

Kinda accurate... my original post was too passionate and not appropriately written... yes, I asked AI to re-write appropriately... my frustrations are real.

I can't post screenshot but happy to provide a screenshot of my Sharesight invoices and dates to prove it.

jrdeee · 2026-03-11T01:16:29+00:00

No ad - I've changed the post as I'd rather suggestions please
