New app folder button missing in GNOME 3.10

Hi, couldn't find anything on this issue so I'm making a new thread.

GNOME 3.10 is supposed to have a "new folder" button in the lower right hand corner of the applications overview, right? I don't have that, and was wondering why... I use the default gtk theme (adwaita).

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. If nothing else, is it possible to create new folders "manually"?

I know this isn't exactly an ideal solution, but you can create app folders with dconf-editor Just open it up, navigate to org-> gnome-> shell, and change the value of app-folder-categories to contain the words:

 ['Utilities', 'All Applications', 'Web Applications', 'Wine', 'Games', 'Sundry', 'Office', 'Network', 'Internet', 'Graphics', 'Multimedia', 'System', 'Development', 'Other', 'Accessories', 'Settings', 'System Settings', 'Universal Access', 'Other', 'Accessibility']

Not all of them are needed, but I just filled it with everything I could (Some of them don't work, feel free to remove the ones you want). As far as I know, apps fall into the categories based on their .desktop files, so you can't create your own categories without editing all your .desktop files
