====== About the script ======
  * Purpose : This script will take all app shortcuts and place them in a circle.
  * Author : TBog
  * Link: www.google.com/+BogdanTautuTBog

====== How to use the script ======
  - Make sure the items are not on a grid.
  - Make a shortcut that runs this script and put a . as the first character of the label.
  - Click on the shortcut and all items of type 'ai' that do not have a dot as the first character in the label will be positioned on a circle.
  - You can change the order of the items in the circle using "Move forward/backwards" button. The top-most item is at 12-o'clock and going clockwise. If the order of the items is not to your liking, go to step 3.
  - You can now delete the shortcut to the script.


I have tested this script on a 1080 x 1920 screen (portrait). If you have some other resolution you can change the offsets and the radius (read comments in the script).
====== Script code ======
<code>
var desktop = LL.getCurrentDesktop();
var a = [];
var na = 0;
var items = desktop.getItems();
for ( var i=items.getLength()-1; i>=0; i-=1 )
{
	var item = items.getAt(i);
	if ( item.getType()!='ai' )
	{
		/*alert(item.getType()+" "+item.getLabel());*/
		continue;
	}
	if ( item.getLabel().substr(0,1)=='.' )
		continue;
	a[na++] = item;
}
var x,y;
/* radius is about 400 for a 1080x1920 screen */
var radius = 0.37 * Math.min(desktop.getWidth(), desktop.getHeight());
for ( var i=0; i<na; i+=1 )
{
	x = Math.cos(Math.PI*2*i/na-Math.PI/2) * radius;
	y = Math.sin(Math.PI*2*i/na-Math.PI/2 ) * radius;
	/* move circle to the middle of the screen */
	x+= desktop.getWidth()/2;
	y+= desktop.getHeight()/2;
	/* offset (would be nice to know item width) */
	x-= 67;
	y+= 300;
	a[i].setPosition(x , y);
}
