Hello, thanks for this very useful alternative to app manager. I have a question/request about the repositories.

Faster application manager does not read the repositories which are currently disabled under app manager. Is this intentional/can it be changed? No major problem though currently unless it is able to replace app manager in the future.

Also, when fapman reads the repositories from app manager it uses different names for them. Any chance it can use the same names as the app manager? For example, I have Qole repository under app man but it appears as "Repository" under fapman.

Love this application
But is it intended that fapman updates the catalogs every time you hit the Install apps or upgrade apps -button? It makes it now unusable for me because it takes 7 minutes to update all catalogs @ 2G network...

I'm using thr latest devel-version.

I have no idea
I thought that differential updates get used automatically by apt-get if the repos support it...

So, maybe, a log of installed apps in order, or, better yet, sort uninstall list by date installed?
Sorting installed apps by date will be there in the next version.

/var/lib/dpkg/info is NOT just a cache and removing it's contents is a VERY bad idea. Dpkg can't really remove your installed packages after that.

It's intentional because reading the hildon app manager settings (where the disabled repos and names are stored) requires a bit more work Could be changed in the future.

It's not supposed to do it every time. It should do it only if the previous update has failed, if the catalogs are older than 24h or if the hildon application manager has done an update and changed the repo settings (system autoupdate in the background can do this). As a workaround you can use the "remove apps" shortcut in the main menu and then change the status filter, it bypasses the check. I'll add an option to disable the checks in the next version.

My repository list contains 8 entries, which are all enabled.
It just won't show anything to install, though.
Any ideas?
What does your log show after updating the catalogs?

What does your log show after updating the catalogs?
For me it runs the "update catalogs" every time, even if I first hit the update catalogs -button and then right after install applications -button. Log shows two catalog updates one after another.

I really want to thank you for this application.. It is exactly what the phone needs

I can't understand why Nokia's application manager still operates the way it does..

Thank god for open source and people like you who develop apps like those
