Hello, good applet, very useful for me. The only problem I see is that every time it is updated it overwrites the custom configuration. Thank you for your work walter

Hi, like using this applet as listing is easily customisable. Is there a way to get mouseHover - over the panel's folder icon - to display the customPlaces listing window? Thanks, chrisRoald

Yes, it's possible. Here's a how to do it: 1. Find the applet's .js file and replace the value of icon_name (=user_home) by the name of the desired icon. 2. Save file and restart Cinnamon.

Hi Nicolas, nice applet, and works well. Is it possible to customize the icon of the applet showing in the tray? Thx, Stefan
