I haven't used the FapMan for a couple of version numbers until now, and I must say that it is moving forward in leaps and bounds.

Iīm just fiddling around with UI layout and trying to maximize used pixels.
How about something like on attached picture.
- popup window title with app name and icon (app name currently two times)
- static area on right side so that there is more space for text, but on the other side it probably doesnīt wrap always so nicely.
.edit
Bug:
- Remove buttons right side not rounded.
..edit
- Static area should be right side and popup title
- Also for some reason i like how areas are divided in DropN900 with white line: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3589544/Drop...nshot-main.png
- And place to look for icons: http://openiconlibrary.sourceforge.net/

The autorotation is what Qt gives you... You can disable it in the options.
Anyway it's amazing how fast you have been able to achieve such a complete package manager for Maemo in Qt while we have been waiting for years (still waiting to see Muon) for a decent package manager for KDE Debian based distros.
And talking about Muon, are you using the libQApt whis is in development for Kubuntu or directly wrapping apt-get and dpkg commands?

Just pondering here.
I can understand that upgrading apps on N900 takes a little bit time, but installing/searching them N900 has to first update package list (~5-9Mb stuff..IMO weird), then read it and show it.
So is it possible to make it:
- Use maemo.org/packages search
- Show results in list
- When user chooses packages and pushes go app downloads just debs and sends them to apt-get
So does it still need to upgrade catalogs for ALL aps before installing stuff for just one app? Because using server as search machine makes everything working as fast as stuff comes instantly from server side.

Can I turn off automatic updating of catalogs?
When I want to install application, it updates catalogs. So why we have button "update catalogs" when it upading automaticaly? I have slow connetion, constant updating tiring me and I must use basic app man.

The app name appears two times because the other is the package name and the other is the "display name". They can be different if the package has maemo-display-name defined, and I think it's important to show both.

If they get updated *every* time you install, then it's a bug. The button is there if you wish to update more often to check for new updates/applications. I could add an option to turn auto-updating off, but having old catalogs means you won't see new applications/updates and will also lead to errors if the older versions have been removed from the repositories.

i cant seem to find this by looking for fapman. i just lost all my application catalogues somehow so i just installed extras_devel and its not seeing it only synaptic manager can someone help?
Also, see my reply to the previous poster who had an update problem - you might be encountering exactly the same bug that the latest version will fix
Edit: here is the workaround:
If you're not able to do the update with fapman itself, enable the autoremove option from the settings as a workaround. You can disable the option again if you wish after updating to 0.6.3.
