Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Thanks a lot for this application!
This is so much better than the built-in app manager :D

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Not sure if it's caused by fapman or not but lately when I install apps they don't have icons in the launcher until I reboot. Is there maybe something the regular app manager is doing that fapman isn't?

Do other people see this when installing apps via fapman?

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

I see it when installing apps via whichever. IME it's always been a problem regardless of installation method.

I just installed some apps with fapman and after a while the icons were shown without the need to reboot.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Yeah, the icons seem to update completely randomly :rolleyes:

I tried borrowing a piece of code from HAM to accomplish this update in some of the earlier versions, but it still did not work every time so I disabled the code for the last versions. Whatever. I consider it to be a bug in hildon/GTK :rolleyes:

Sysvinit, initng and upstart are great examples of that tendency. Or the little gem of linux audio. Or the wondrous creations of djb. And so on.

h-a-m is a steaming pile of crap, to put it lightly, and its developers are blinded by their egos. Reported some performance related bugs in h-a-m, and I'll never do that again, as it's pointless.

They already can, if they install fapman.

Or maybe I won't be doing that after all... Have you seen what they've done with the actual background images in the system's default themes? They look hideous in any app other than what they were originally designed for...

By the way, trying to set app colors (on custom-drawn widgets) so that they look acceptable on multiple themes is an absolute horror. Even (or especially?) if you use the theme palette!

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

If you havent you could put the images outside of fapman. Then it would be possible to "hack" the look by changing those images. If you have please tell in what dir to look.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

I'd much rather see some folders with PNGs instead, and the user selects theme inside app. That would allow for flexibitity. Maybe a conf file for fonts, as well?

Hit a bit of a bug today. I installed the backupmenu package and the application just hung on the "Installing" stage. I killed it and ran apt-get from the command-line, which in turn prompted me to run "dpkg --configure -a". It seems that backupmenu was having to overwrite a file I'd previously copied manually, and dpkg was prompting for confirmation of this. Is it possible for fapman to detect and handle this?
