Thanks for the kind words! I have been aiming to make Pierogi just as simple and quick to use as I can.
That said, I'm now going to make life less simple for Pierogi users.
Another update is on its way up to extras-devel; this one is quite a bit more ambitious than the previous one. The major change this time is that I've added a true per-keyset editable data mechanism. Up to now, all the keyset data has been completely static; even the favorites list was implemented as a set of pointers into the keyset data, rather than modifications to the keysets themselves.
The major effect in the user interface is that favorites are now chosen directly in the Select Keyset screen. When you select a keyset now, a configuration dialog box will pop up, allowing you to edit keyset data such as whether to make it a favorite. (You'll also find that you can now give each keyset a nickname.)
On the main screen, the favorites panel has been eliminated; in its place, a new button on the left side of the menu bar now provides a pop-up menu with a list of the available favorites. (Also, just to confuse you, the icon I was using for panel collections is now being used for the favorites list; I found an icon that looked a little like a tabbed panel, so I'm using that one on the right hand side.) I'll append some pictures at the end of this post so you can see what I mean.
I've also added a new "audio" panel, including some new buttons I couldn't quite fit in before. (I'm hoping to split the existing "video media" panels into cassette and disc versions, giving me yet more screen real estate to work with...)
This was a fairly large amount of code change, so I'm quite sure that you _will_ find bugs. Please let me know, and I'll provide fixes as soon as I can.
Also in this release, I've made a first pass at keysets for ADB (I-Can), Anitech, Blaupunkt, Lifetec, Medion, Sylvania, Triax, and Viewsonic. (Still trying to work my way through the request list...)
