I wonder what '<Status 18>' means in version --dup. I got it for the apkd* packages, sailfish-version and lipstick-jolla-home-qt5.

version --verify lets me know my btrfs-balancer is not the one that should be installed, in fact it's a higher version (1.2.4 vs 1.2.1). Something seems ro be wrong here.

Aw man, I assumed the covers would stay where they were after a reboot, but they disappeared again. Room for improvement there.

App can rearranging by long press now.
Just the covers stay visible is extremely annoying!!

Why do you find it annoying?

App like whatsup will stop working without any notice.

Yes. Noticed that.
The problem is with the 'jolla' missing in new version.

But that has nothing to do with the app covers staying visible. Also, stuff like that needs a background service. If it doesn't have one, then your connection getting killed isn&#39;t the fault of the OS.

I see, thanks.

Just a heads up:

I have created a patch, that converts cover action buttons into pulley menus.

I had this idea months ago and this is the initial implementation. It may be buggy and you need SailfishOS 1.1.9.28, but should at least serve as a protection against accidentally hitting the cover action buttons :)

That would be a good workaround. If an app could indicate to the OS that it could be suspended but retain a cover showing the last status that would give the impression of better multitasking than the limited ram allows.

Possibly the OS could periodically wake up suspended apps to update the cover?

Eg. If you had a bug tracker app that woke up every 2 years to check if Jolla have fixed CalDAV and then went to sleep again. :D
