State of Confusion (FL too)
Hello...

I've been experimenting with LauncherPro and want the ability to try out a couple home setups, wallpapers, icon arrangements, etc. I LOVE the HTC Sense feature that allows you to save "scenes," name them and open them at any time.

Is it possible to somehow save "scenes" while using LauncherPro? I noticed in the preferences that there is a home settings backup option (with the caveat that widgets will not be saved and have to be reloaded) but it does NOT appear that MULTIPLE, DIFFERENT backups can be saved in LauncherPro.

If there are no "scenes" available in LauncherPro, is there a way to do something with the LauncherPro backup file??...to rename and save it and then bring it up to reload a different LauncherPro configuration anytime I want?

I looked through the LauncherPro_backup folder and there does NOT seem to be a single "backup" file that I can rename to accomplish the above. Perhaps I overlooked it??

THANKS!
 
you may have to have the paid version to save multiples...i will look tomorrow when I have the phone in front of me

You mean to say that you do NOT your EVO nestled up close to your bosom at ALL TIMES!!??;):D

THANKS for your help (I see your replies to my other posts as well...)

Let me know what you find on your paid LauncherPro...

You cannot currently do this with launcher pro, unfortunately. You can only have one backup, and even at that, you will have to re-add your widgets if you restore it. If you're rooted, you *could* get the paid version of titanium backup and make multiple backups. Again, you'd still have to re-add your widgets.

The good news is that the launcher pro developer has been working on a complete rewrite for the past month or so. It's entirely possible that "scenes" like functionality will be added eventually. I see it requested all the time.
