Yes...a tip: developers could have a look at
dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/data/artwork/icons
and use material from that page. In most cases, a suitable icon is already there. Otherwise it's just a matter of shape selecting/shrinking/appending (in Icon-O-Matic), as long as you don't go any further than any of those three adaptations(!). I guess the icons over there are under MIT license (if any). Just always use them with your good taste and not in a commercial application, and things will probably be fine...or maybe check first.
Indeed a useful link, thanks Karl.
http://dev.hug-nordic.org/haikuart/icons.php#
are downloadable in PNG format? I cant download it using BonEcho. Dunno why..
btw. I can add beos icons if some of you have a bigger library of beos icons converted to PNG.
Any bug-reports / suggestions please send on my PM or [ better ] on my e-mail.
thanks so much!
Gnash is ready to download/install via Synthetic [ with all dependences ]. It resides in libraries/unofficial gcc4 category.
btw. multioption [ user's lazy ass mode :) ] will not be implemented , because of concepts/limitations i made during Synthetic project.
Gnash will be in repo soon. I need to test it firsty.
and.. uninstalling mode. Im thinking about few concepts how it should be done. basic implementation should be available very soon.
I would like to see GCC4 libraries added, and if you can, mednafen.
I requested a search option before, but you didn't reply so I thought I'd bring it up again. It's really, really handy!
Viewing packages by name could also help a lot.
I'm not compiling anything new. Just testing all packs from beos on haiku and if they're working im adding them to repos.
I will add GCC4 libs soon.
How you set your app icon?
I have made a tutorial about this on BeSly:
BeSly BeOS, Haiku and Zeta knowledge base
explain it again please
Tutorial?
PNG icons are accepted?
BeOS icons, which most of us are still using, exist only as attributes. Haiku is supposed to have a special SVG icon format, but the tools for it are not openly available yet AFAIK.
If you have a PNG you want to use, copy it to a BFS volume, use one of the Thumbnail apps available here to create an icon attribute, then follow the above procedure.

http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/filetypes.html#icon
thanx man!
is there any way to have something like "latest updates" in the application? so the one can run the program and see whats new instead of browsing all categories all over again.
I promise next time, next update will be quicker in synthetic than on haikuware
I should add this option in 3.6 but i didnt because i didnt saved my sourcecode and haiku crashed :/ it will be ready in 0.3.7 for sure.. :)
another tips, if you dont mind:
- theres no screenshot for the "synthetic Package Manager" ;) nice feature and you dont use it for your app
- i agree about more native icons
- can you make windows resizible by draging its right down corner, plz?
- basic search would be very nice feature
by the way,it seems i dont have Uninstaller ans Shortcuts apps.
Can you add them in Synthetic, plz?
i have seen that you place the screen shots in the home folder to display them, please create a temporaries folder for this and clear them after closing the application. The home folder is not really the best place to do it.
Greetings Lelldorin
Currently SPM is completely frozen since i moved to completely new location, and in here theres no possibility to use LAN cable and my laptop Wifi's not working on Haiku.
Sorry..
Btw. Anyone who wants the source.. email me.
anyway good job
a small remark, when one click on a description of a package, then later on a new group on the left side, the description remains there (in righ bottom window)
a small feature request, option to retain the downloaded packages in the temp folder (now deleted after install, I think)
and by the way - why cant you make it opensource in some SVN?
on my fresh alpha2 it says "missing librarries: libncurses.so"!
you go to Syhetic, Libraries\Officeial GCC2\nCurses library, thats all.
well...yes, you need to have previous Synthetic version
with the application, if you know its not in the default haiku installation. its for streakx!
and i thing Senryu does have all needed libs, and R1 will have as well!
This video shows how easy install and uninstall games [ with libs ] on SPM

or download
http://omploader.org/vNGQ5dQ/INSTALLING_SOFTWARE_synthetic_package_manager_for_haiku-os.avi.html
These goodies are already present in v0.5.0
filter + search in SPM categories
Pretty much the same as the software center in ubuntu for example.
The icons in the toolbar need rework. They aren't very clear don't fit to the haiku system icons. (just by looking at the uninstall button I would never know that this button is for uninstallation).
I would include screenshots into the description area (if screenshot is avaiable) and also an installation button in the description. The list of software on the left can stay the same as it is right now.
If I can get my hands on the source I can do a first prototype or mockup
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D65UjURD8R4
Does it have to be so strict with categories for the user? You have to do several clicks before the package manager shows anything. Why not show every package when no category is selected, and then let the user choose if he or she wants to be more specific? A global filtering would go well with this too.
Could users get more choice in how big the window should be? A maximize button in the titlebar, and a little resize corner, would make things more convenient.
With that said, awesome app! Thanks a lot for working on this.
From SPM v0.6.1 all packages from subcategories will be visible in main category aswell..
The First Startup screen should show a list of the most popular apps in the repo. (As the repo status is unclear right know, this has to wait :P)
A global search would be nice. Showing only categories that are full with apps would be the next logical step also.
Why should it show the most popular apps? Isn't that also a category?
"Most Popular" isn't a category right now but it should be one. On the first screen of the app I would show the most popular apps as a recommendetation only, so not as list view as we have right now but a simple iconic view.
Here a small mockup :

[ with subject "SPM"]
I would like to make a small statistics check until i decide what to do in future dev of SPM.
I'm just quoting/linking and don't have any experience in the workings of this, though.
Conclusion: If anybody finds Free SPM good enough, then will jump onto SPM Pro anyway.. i think..
Maybe it will work out for you. Hard to say. You may have to go one step further and generate keycodes to unlock the application.
btw.
unregistered app could install only 5 apps/libs from repo.
What about wuala ? Doesn't it work ?
I Didnt received anything now..
+ QuickUninstall mode
+ Installing many apps + dependences at once [completely automated install, no user]
+ Automated install
+ Top downloaded apps and many more new opts
and
Next Week , i think..
?
-> OS:
I'll put there oses like:
Zeta 1.2 livecd
BeOS Max
BeOS DevEd 2.2
BeOS PE
and maybe BeOS Pro*
*-[only for test, and only for people that owns original CD and license, and want to get ISO backup. Since there's no easy way to buy original CD even on ebay, these days..]
Could not open "synthetic_v0.6.8" (Missing symbol: _ZN11BArchivable13AllUnarchivedEPK8BMessage).
What's the solution?
Best regards,
Other ideas include.
Membership for premum applications. With say a $5 yearly fee. Not for the software but acess to the database.
Or app liscensing for $5 a year or something.
You guys need something for your efforts. There is honor and dignity in labor and knowledge and they shouldn't always be given so freely as if they had no value at all.
the other though I have is a gift card type deal. Cretae Paypal account type payment of $20 and charge for the application $1 $5 per application etc etc etc . Pay the devlopers and covers the overhead here. seem very reasonable to charge for work.
when I get a few dollars free on the CC I will be getting a copy of package pro.
Just a though.
What kind of operations, Andrewzx1?

I enjoyed watching his standard icons show up on his webpage earlier in the year when I had time to follow his progress . Very pleasantly surprised by his development since then.

Im waiting for haiku v1.0 , and then i'll jump on haiku-os boat with new stuff [A lot of QT apps made by me.] Until then all YAB/QT coding for Haiku are officially frozen.
Would you upload "to haikuware" what you have compiled so far ? would be helpful to the community.
Not fine to hear, i like your application, and i dont had the time to take a look the advances iso file creator :-(.
How does you mean that there is no interest on your app? Can you see how many downloads?
Repo is rather big - about 3000 files and i think more than 2GB size [im still checking it] so it will not fit in small server :/
I've got over a terabyte of storage.Karl has plenty here to.
In the meantime i need to wipe out server.
