That's a good idea, let's see what can be done about it.

I've added that to my to-do list...

Version 0.3.2
* Possible to search from the beginning of the package names by starting the search with ':'
* Fixed: The package list jumps away from the last marked package
* Improved rendering of package descriptions

Oh, and also a KNOWN BUG: It's possible to get the package view stuck in portrait mode. Since there are already some kludgy workarounds involved (Qt autorotation is buggy) I guess it's a wontfix until a new version of Qt becomes available. Pressing ctrl-shift-r (or returning to main menu) helps.

Is it possible to add a little more detailed information about installation/update progress? Now it says just something like "downloading/installing X apps" but I would like it to show information more like apt-get does, like which package it's downloading/installing at the moment and perhaps even the progress %. Otherwise very great app!

Can you add an option to disable auto-rotation? I find it very annoying.

Yeah, I'm planning to do that. If I can make it work.

Could you please add sorting?

Sort Alphabetically
Sort By Date (newest first)
Sort by Size (Largest first)

Sorting is the most I miss from the default Application Manager.

Thanks and great work so far.

Great update dude !
Just awesome.
Not sure if it got asked already, but is there a way to set fapman as standard appmanager ?

What will happen if FAppMan finds an update for itself and wants to install it? Is it safe to do it?
And how can I upgrade all packages without selecting every package manually and does it also show the "invisible" upgradeable packages which are only shown when you do a "apt-get upgrade" in the X-Terminal?
Is it possible to also show the changelog of a package (if available)?
Thanks

It's in Extras-devel so basically it's not safe to update. Anyways, to answer the real question, it seems to work fine, at least for me.

And how can I upgrade all packages without selecting every package manually?

As far as I can tell you can't do that yet on fapman?

I'm just guessing here but I guess that's up to the developer of chosen app to do. fapman doesn't tell us the changelog nor does the original Application Manager. Those are (again, as far as I know) up to the developer of the app.

Well, packages have changelogs on-site, so in theory an option could be added.

IMO, mighty useful.
