It would diminish the use of Preview.app.

Can't say what a relief that is. Thanks.
Oh I misunderstood I thought you meant like rearranging the apps like clicking and dragging them. On that note no I don't think you can have them automatically arranged alphabetically or anything like that, doesn't look like.
Preview doesn't sync with anything on iOS. They should just kill it and roll all its features into iBooks.
Well, that's ungainly.
yea.. my ocd turns on whenever i see launchpad.. i don't get why such a minor option isn't implemented yet. i mean the regular apps folder does it..
Ah. A smart solution, I guess. That why I like Apple: Best of both worlds, sync and Preview.app.
Including things like opening and editing graphics files? That would be an odd addition to iBooks.
Dude, I'm right there with you. They have to be alphabetical, even in the folders. I move the icon into its proper place every time I install a new app. Really wish there were some options for sorting.
Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. (I just use it for PDFs).
Let me revise: They should kill the PDF features and move them to iBooks.
Preview kept for images, or ideally, becomes a more capable image editor. Think a smaller version of Pixelmator.
That's still the default behaviour.
Launchpad is searchable since 10.8. That helps narrow things down for me. I don't bother organizing Launchpad. I know it doesn't solve your original original issue, but it might take the edge off of dragging every icon to the location you want it if you upgrade.
I tried some free third party "manager" apps to do the job and they all sucked. That was a while ago though.
Out of box you're still stuck doing icon-by-icon dragging without a 3rd party solution unless DP5 brings something new to the table. I'm only up to DP4 for the moment.
I don't mind this. I prefer using Preview over Acrobat/Reader. That program is so sluggish and laggy when scrolling where as Preview is so smooth.
That's not a smart solution. If I'm thinking correctly, this means you can't write notes in a .pdf book.
at motel 6 
At Motel 6 in Salinas, Ca today. 12 hours remaining, or is it 1 day? it keeps flipping back and forth.?
On a side note, I stopped at a pizza place called Pizza My Heart in Santa Cruz, CA yesterday, they sell a Mavericks Pizza....and sell autographed copies of a book called "Making Mavericks." They also have pictures of Mavericks on the wall near the soda fountain. There was a guy at one of the tables on a Macbook Pro, I wonder if he was running Mavericks?
The pizza was so yummy, though I ordered the Big Sur Pizza. They also sell Mexican Coke in glass....(don't get too excited, its not THAT kind of Mexican Coke.)

Cool to see the march of progress. Mac App Store, iBooks Store, do people think they might strip out the iTunes Stores into their own apps as well? I like that the GUI is very similar to the MAS one.
