...I expect that this software shall (by default, at least) utilize a grid to display favourite applications. However, I have no reason to use a grid - the application icons are of no importance to me. Use KDE's Application Launcher as an example:

Research direction

Start with the README preview linked in the issue to understand the current application-group presentation and the requested list or tree alternatives. Then locate the existing app-group panel and its view-selection logic in the C# project. Done means favourite applications can be displayed without the default grid, with the intended folder behavior clarified and verified.
