Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

I must admit that I have zero sense for design, so I'm very open to design patches (a previous employer of mine said if I was to do the design of the apps we publish, we'd go bankrupt - I still like to think that was mostly due to a grossly miscalibrated monitor :o ). In any case, the current, WiP look (yes, I know, not a grid, pass stamp is red and all), so that people not following gitorious could chip in:

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

While going through dpkg-trigger docs it occured to me that if a package would include KISStester in the package control file (as a trigger/dependency) it could 'signal' KISStester that it is prepared to receive feedback. Note that this feedback notification would NOT be shown to people who install the app from Extras, only those that have the package installed from extras-testing, and if the package is still in testing and past, say, half the quarantine period (with the obvious option to "ignore" feedback requests, just like updates in HAM, so it would not pester users who are not interested). Do you think this would be too aggressive ?

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

No more so than Androids system if you remove a package from the Market app. I am not sure you can even silence that.

In Android (when I last used it) you could remove the app from a different location in settings and bypass it.

Tying it into dpkg on these will mean any app that uses the deb subsystem will use this.. so the options to hide would definitely be necessary.. but with them I think it's a great idea. Though it is something else for package maintainers to remember to add.

And now we have a new design to go with this cool app! I assisted our awesome developer Attila and we came up with this little visual upgrade. Hope you like. It will be implemented in one of the future builds.

Looks fantastic!

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

Looks good. Care to explain what icons mean?

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

Looks great, "k:" and "d:" are a little obfuscated, but otherwise nice. Not sure what the far left icon (the spanner does), and the "tick" presumably is whether I've voted - or is it if I've voted up/down?

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

The spanner is a WiP feature, it shows whether the package in question is an upgrade to a package already in Extras (doesn't *mean* anything, but just so you have a little scope). Maybe we could have something more intuitive as an icon for that...

The "tick" means it has enough karma for promotion. Your own votes are shown at the beginning of the line via thumbs up/down.

PS. New version up on gitorious for those that want to check

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

Applied new design (special thanks to ivanzorkic, already sent me new update icons, press thank a few posts above if you didn't do that yet). Did change the look a bit by using Nokia Sans Condensed fonts to be able to fit longer application names...

In other (more important) news we have working comments (yay !), too, a new version is heading towards extras devel. I think we're getting close to something that can be used publicly - now, where are those patches for bugtracker checking and integrating optification check scripts !

Re: [ ANNOUNCE ] KISStester
 

Thoughts on the UI for Bugtracker & optification?

Ideally a HeCheckButton as that would allow a button like:


/ \ Optified
\ / No files in /opt or Python directories

/ \ Bug tracker
\ / bugs.maemo.org/...=hermes


Is that possible in Qt?

EDIT: this is what it looks like:
