Folders for LauncherPro ?

Is there an app that I can use to have folders inside launcher pro's app drawer, coz I want to group my apps and its a bit of a pain to look for it when your app list is growing on a regular basis.
I personally use folder organizer. it doesn't put folders within the app drawer but all you have to do is click on the app to access the folders. you can customize the folders and such. you can also put the folders as widgets onto your homescreen.

Good folders app?

So im looking for a folder app with these features:
-Custom icon size/coulmns
-And so it hides apps I already put in a folder so it's easier to organize.
I tried simi folders app but didn't hide apps I already had in a folder. Go launcher does hide the apps tho but i dont like that launcher.
Any suggestions? Please?

What do you mean hide apps already in folder? When creating a different folder?

You could use Folder Organizer (the paid version). You get custom icons, but not a number of columns/rows. There is automatically a group called "Other Apps" - this groups all of the apps that aren't yet labelled. From the main screen you can go to labels > other apps, then assign labels to the apps inside the group. As the apps are labelled, the group gets smaller. There's also an option to receive a notification when a new app is installed. When you tap on the notification, it allows you to assign labels at that time. You can put folders in folders if you're super OCD like I am.
It doesn't have everything you asked for, but it's pretty awesome. There's a free version without custom icons for apps/shortcuts/bookmarks/contacts, but you still get custom icons for folders. I'd say try it out, if you want to buy the full version just export your settings from the free version & import them to the paid version.
EDIT: My spelling of labelled looks wrong, is it? "Labeled" looks even stranger though.
EDIT #2: While you can't specify columns/rows, there are multiple options for the look of the folder. You can also create a custom skin for the folder, with colors & transparency that you choose.
Ok thanks. And yes i meant when creating a new folder in don't want to see the other apps. So i dont have an app in multiple folders

[Q] Contacts and Folders

Is there a way of adding groups to the contacts view, like on Samsung handsets? For example, I would like to have groups for "family" and "work".
Also, is there a way to have folders as they used to be in the older firmware, like windows folders on a pc and not the transparent look of the new firmware?
The default Contact app does not support groups. You can download 3rd party apps like GO Contacts.

[Q] Move Multiple Apps at once

I would like to select 5 apps on page 1 and would like to move them to page 2.
Is there any way to do this besides:
- Moving 1 app at a time.
- Moving them into a folder, moving the folder, then removing them from the folder.
Would this be functionality my launcher has to provide or is there an application that would allow me to do this? (I'm using Nova Launcher Prime). Or would an application be able to allow for this?
Basically the Android equivalent of "MultiIconMover" on iDevices:

Any mods to add FOLDERS in the App Drawer (the middle circle button)

I know that Google default launcher in the Nexus series (not TouchWiz, not Sense) does not have the capability to create folders in the App Drawer.
Does anyone know any mods to add this feature?
PS: I know about "use other launcher", but I like Google default launcher. I tried Nova and the folders CANNOT be arranged. I tried Go Launcher and for some reason bog downs my tablet.
Since I received no response, I assume this cannot be done.
So I will change the question:
If I create folders on the home screen to group all the apps, I will have about 10 different folders. Since these are like "Widgets", will this have any impact on battery? Basically I will have 10 widgets (the folders) and 3 other widgets.
