Hello,
Love my new Macbook Air... and really enjoying the new features in OS X Lion. But I'm having a bit of an issue where Launchpad doesn't seem to save the order that I organize my apps. Is this a known issue waiting to be updated? And also, is there any preferences pages for Launchpad?
Thanks.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7), 256 GB SSD
Anyone have a comment on this? Is this something that will be looked at when 10.7.1 comes out? It's really an OCD kind of issue. It annoys me when I go back in to Launchpad and some of my icons have been automatically moved around (not including any new applications installed).
i've been having the same problem...i'm unsure if others are not experiencing this problem or if nobody has noticed
I have also been having this problem. It also bugs me.
There is a database for launchpad that can be deleted via terminal, and you can manually create the organization again. however, there are bugs there and it would be best to wait until apple sorts this out before seriously trying to use.
I am also seeing this bug using 10.7.1 on my mid 2011 iMac. Hope it gets fixed in the next update.
Well this post worked for me, I had to rearrange my apps one more time but they are now saving after I restart my iMac running 10.7.1.

Basically I used terminal to kill the dock with the command "killall Dock"
Then I had to delete the dock database file located in "Home Folder/Library/Application Support/Dock" you get to your Library folder by holding down the option key while clicking "Go" in Finder.
Then kill the dock again with the terminal command "killall Dock".
Finally After putting all my apps back where I wanted them they are now saving.
I still have this problem in Mac OS X 10.7.2 😟
Same problem here. 10.7.1 hasn't fixed it. 10.7.2 hasn't fixed it. Every time I restart my Mac, my Launchpad icons are jumbled again. Apple doesn't seem to care. It's all about the iPhone 4S and iCloud at the moment.
Akubichan and Marcelo, is it possible that you used a prefpane based tool or command line(Terminal) hacks to manage your Launchpad icons?
If so, probably your Launchpad database is corrupted, that's why it gets reset to the default state when you log in.
Basically, Launchpad validates the database every time you log in.
Launchpad will:

Also, there's an OS X lion native app that helps you restore your database or manage icons - without corrupting your Launchpad database.
I only tried the free version so far and it's way better than the Air or prefpane apps out there.
Launchpad Preferences? Doesn't save organization.
