Only just spotted it, it's the last slot on the preferences page

Thanks, got it! I'm not certain when I'll get the next update out, but I'm working on it. My apologies to any folks who've been waiting a while...

Cool, I'll reply. It's been a while, but I'm finally trying to get back to working on Pierogi again. I've pushed a new update into extras-devel, it'll hopefully be available soon. This one doesn't do much; there's some underlying cleanup of the code, but the only user-visible change is that I've moved the "Power Key Search" up to the menu next to the "Select Keyset" option. Last year, I didn't really believe this would be as easy a way to find a keyset as it seems to be; but it really does seem to work pretty well. It really deserves to be made a primary tool, right alongside the manual selection mechanism.

What I'm hoping to do most in the next few weeks or so is clean up the existing code, fix the documentation, and get version 1.1 into a state where I can push it up into Extras. I know that the macros are broken right now, and I'm not sure how long it'll take to fix that; I'm beginning to think that I should just remove them from 1.1 for now, and reintroduce them in version 1.2...

BTW, also in this update, I've made a first pass at keysets for Alpine, ILO, SagemCom, and Starhub, and added a few new keysets for Strong and Technics.

Please let me know if you've got fixes or additions you'd like to see in Pierogi! Thanks.

I think it would be good to see an update to Extras.
However since you have been away the migration has caused a few issues with packages and repositories.
Developers are waiting for promotion to Testing to be fixed and promotion to Extras is yet to be tested. I wouldn't want you to waste developing time from the above issues.

Hey copernicus nice app i am using it for a month now and its working pretty good. The best part of the app the pranks on friends

I wanted to suggest an idea i don't know for sure if it's possible, but could you put air conditioning as a device type. I know there's a panel option but i can't find any brand of that, that are common used in greece.

Thank you for your good work.

Yes, I've actually been fighting with air conditioning controls for a while now. I do have a couple of A/C keysets in Pierogi, but the main problem has been that most modern air conditioner remotes try to maintain state information. (That is, they try to remember what the temperature, fan speed, etc. was last set to.) This state information then gets dumped into each command sent by the remote, which makes A/C IR commands far more complex.

I have to admit that, after spending a few weeks on the problem last year, I put it on the back burner and focussed on other, easier tasks. I'll take another look and see if I can get something put together...

Cheeesus, and for what? Why remote should be even remotely interested in last settings of controlled unit, instead of just keeping that in A/C's memory? Even *if* we would have remotes with LCD's, that would display current settings of controlled unit, it would be easier to do via two-way communication, than by dumping last thing into every new command.

Have their gone nuts, or is there any sane rationale for such werido? Asking just out of curiosity.

Of course! It's because remote controls with LCD screens look so cool! Why would you ever purchase an air conditioner with a bland buttons-only remote control, when you could get one that is so much more technologically advanced.

(Then again, as I've spent many hours now creating an incredibly intricate multi-screen universal remote control application, I'm really not in a position to complain here. )
