The description text seems to have problems with special characters. Maybe you can fix that?
Another small feature request: show the total size of all upgradeable/ready to install packages
Thanks!

Done

0.5.1 brings some quick bugfixes:
* Sort upgradeable packages by available date, not installed date
* Don't fetch dates for blacklisted packages
* Don't write date cache if it has not changed
* Fixed a bug in changing a package's blacklist status
* Slightly adjusted fingerscrolling parameters of the package list
* Fixed: Special characters in package descriptions
* Added a "donate" link to about dialog

Nice to have an faster alternative to the slow app manager Nokia built... but my personal opinion is that the application is ugly and needs a face lift.

hqh: any chance the app could be skinnable?

Absolutely love it! Thanks for the wonderful app.
I would also like it if it had a plain background and simple buttons.

Maybe for starters using the background of the default app manager would be a good idea?
That one is usually themed.

Also an option to update the package list in the back ground when the app starts could speed things up even more. Then when the user wants to install something, the progress bar could simply pop up in case it hasn't finished.

The link in app details is very practical! Call me stupid but I can never find my way from there to the pace where packages can be rated . Would it be possible to point there directly instead?

Great app, thanks a lot

Great app, exactly what I was looking for!

Think I got a bug here though. Steps to reproduce:
- I have blessn900 installed
- Told fapman to install fcam, lowlight,hdrcapture and some other apps.
- fcam conflicts with blessn900 (didnt notice at that time), download starts and installation starts.
- Install finishes with a message about a dpkg exception.
- All packages I told to install have been "installed".
- I can not use fapman to install anything new because it remembered that it should install fcam and tries to...
- I have to remove them in official appman to get fapman to work again.

Hope this helps somewhat. Imho the whole install should have failed at the start because of the conflict. Willing to provide more info if you want/need.

Ps. This was with the 0.5 version

I had the same issue. Fcam had some serious problems getting installed though. Fapman refused to do anything until I uninstalled fcam from Appman.

There is a new version of fcam out but it still has problems installing, so I think this bug is more related to the program (fcam) itself.

I'll try to make it use the default application manager background so it matches more closely to the system theme. I'll just have to see how I can make Qt handle it nicely in portrait mode...

Skinnable... well, the application should use the system theme except for the main screen and the loading screen. If that isn't already skinnable enough, loading Qt stylesheets should be a fairly easy way to achieve some level of skinnability, I think... If I make them loadable is someone willing to create them?

If you don't like the icons, you're welcome to make better ones... But remember that it's just plain impossible to please everyone

Thanks. Conflicting packages should list a "Conflicts:" statement in their control section, but these for some reason fail to do so. Thus apt-get can't determine the conflict in the dependency calculation phase, leaving it for dpkg to notice the files getting overwritten...

fcam-drivers lists "BlessN900" in its Conflicts, but I think it does not work because it should be all lowercase instead.

So basically I think it's the packages that are broken, but I'll try to make fapman handle that situation better in the future...
