im not sure what is required to do that but:

data from apps other than the ones from jolla is not backed up. this should change! when i do a back up i want everything backed up including settings for apps or even highscores from a game. because this is not the case atm. i guess theres something missing like an api (?)

same thing for settings: when i go to settings > apps all i see there are jolla apps. most apps have their own settings in their gui, why? just lazyness on the devs side or again missing api? - this should be changed anyway (you can enforce rules through the store!)

all apps should have their settings either in settings > apps or in the gui. one or the other, just make it clean. and all apps should have the possibility to be backed up

Would love to see this feature in all apps!

Please do try to keep to one topic per question, it makes it easier to find questions and vote accordingly. BTW.. the settings thing is a security thing which (afaik) is yet to be resolved, thus non-Jolla apps are not allows to use that interface.

The problem seems to be partially-related to both app and harbour-resrictions. To make an app provide such an settings interface you need to have a file /usr/share/jolla-settings/entries/harbour-<name>.json looking similar to this:

{ "entries": [ { "path": "applications/harbour-<name>.desktop", "title": "<Real Name>", "type": "page", "icon": "image://theme/icon-m-<icon>", "params": { "source": "/usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/harbour-<name>/<name>.qml" } } ] }

Than you can build your settings-page and place it as /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/harbour-<name>/<name>.qml

Copying the jolla-messages to harbour-screenshot works like a charm ;)

He is asking for Settings->Apps not have items in Settings->System - Apps is closed for non-Jolla apps for now even though it would be the most natural way to have it
