Lite Software - Suggestions welcomed

[anon222]

It does look cool, what a tease :p

No, that wasn't a tease.
This is a tease

-Working multiple selection
-images/icons
-working search for application names
-window image (that's that small feather icon, but can be any image)
-pango markup language in the list (<b>Apple Trailers Plugin</b>)

[anon222]

One option is to use checklist (like in this script).
The other option is to remove checklist and FALSE column and leave just icons (then Ctrl will have to be used for selecting multiple programs to install).
yad is required for this to run.

The icon "feature" is very nice, makes things look more polished and professional.

Do you have the code for this or is it based off Yad? I'd like to avoid Yad, as flexible as it is, theres no telling when development will end for it leaving our users high and dry. Zenity I think is more likely to stay around.

[Valtam]

Remove Additional Software was updated today:

Changes:

• Multiple removal selection available for Remove Additional Software (thanks misko).
  
• Remove Additional Software now asks for password only once upon launch.

Yes it's just Yad. I was tired of Zenity's limitations so I wanted to try something else.

[Valtam]

It is a shame Zenity does not have the same features as Yad. For example, the option of an icon and a select feature for me would be a no-brainer inclusion. The last release of Yad was December 2013, up until then development was fairly constant.

[anon222]

Yes, it's a shame.  :-\
Anyway, I made a new script. Zenity of course.
Multiple selection + icons in a list.
Multiple selection of programs to install is now possible with Ctrl and Shift.
Icons should be the same size.

Misko, do you think you could find a way that makes a check if an application is installed, then displays that application in bold if it is installed?
