I was trying the program saving and loading a configuration and it messed up all my folders and it fails to load.

[Else00]

I was trying the program, I ran
lporg save
and then
lporg load --config /Users/else/Library/Application\ Support/lporg/config.yml
but it failed to restore the launchpad configuration and all my apps are outside the folders.
(I don't have any folder called "Other" in the yml)
Here is the complete output of the program:

lporg load --config /Users/else/Library/Application\ Support/lporg/config.yml

   ⨯ failed to fix Other folder: group 'Other' not found

I tryed to remove all the emoji from the names in the yml (as you can see in the screenshot) but the result is the same.

Please help me, i spent so much time organize all those apps in the folders.

I also had the same problem with latest lporg. But I don't see errors, it was successful, but it messed up the LaunchPad.

[blacktop]

what version of macOS did you run this on?

[Else00]

I don’t remember but based on the macOS version history it must be 14.5
