Lauchpad gone after updating the Mac OS Tahoe

I updated my MacBook Pro to Mac OS Tahoe last night and Lauchpad has gone and been replaced with Apps. How can I drop all my Stills Photograhy Apps and Video Apps into their own Folders. The layout of the new Apps is too jumbled with more steps involved to find things. You can't even pull the window winder.

I beg to differ with your opinion. AppGrid is definitely NOT the perfect way to keep the classic grid view you love.

Take that up with the developers of AppGrid. Their words.


Here's another one I've seen recommended:

This is the worst update Apple have done for over 16 years of being a MacBook Pro user. I am so annoyed that this update has made such a drastic change.without warning us first. I would have never updated if i had known this.

Lesson for the future: If you're change-averse, always wait a couple of weeks before upgrading to a new version of the OS. That will give you time to see what people are saying, to see what's being reported in the press, to go to an Apple Store or big box store and try things out. If you read carefully, you'll often find that there are people who violate there NDAs and talk about why they see in the beta version.


Meanwhile, you can let Apple know your thoughts here:
