you dont need to be a dev guy for doing this
  1. add marking options and a "install marked" button to app manager
  2. prevent marking while scrolling with synaptics like behaviour
  3. and so on

please create proper solutions with the ideas from this thread

Hope that someone adds repository names to alphabetical program list. That would make at least me to think twice before adding extras-dev apps to my device.

Yes, would be helpful.
But solely having extras-devel enabled is dangerous, because dependencies for packages from extras or testing might get pulled from devel.
Or does the HAM take care about that, already? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Check the "download basked" link in my signature too.

Vote it, since it will greatly improve user experience

Would an uninstall similar suggestion also go as a solution for same brainstorm or would it be better to create a new brainstorm?

Ideally, the app manager would have multiple selection for uninstall. Selecting one or more apps in the AM would give you the following output:

The following will be uninstalled:
Google Latitude Updater - 6 MB
Bounce - 15 M

Additionally, the following packages are no longer needed and will be uninstalled as well:
libqt4-network - 21 M

Total space freed: 42 M

Proceed? (Y/N)

This is basically a formatted version of what apt-get does when ran with -s.

I added a solution.

It's rather similar to the first, but has a little more detail.

http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...llation_queues

Details:
This solution might actually be the same as the first one with a little more detail, so I'll put it here anyway.

Since the actual installation process is cpu consuming and the download process can be time consuming I suggest a solution where you'd have a download queue and a separate (not necessarely visible) installation queue.

It would work like this. When you select an application for installation, that application would immidiately start downloading, and a button to "install all" would appear. That way you can continue to add applications to the queue while at the same time download the already selected stuff. After you're done you can click the install all button and let the installer hog the cpu for a while. If not all applications have been downloaded when install all is clicked, it can start installing the completed ones while downloading the rest.

I think this would really streamline the installation process, and minimize the wasted time.

The uninstall process would work in a similar way, but obviously would not start before the "uninstall selected" or whatever you'd label it.
Go vote for a solution so we can get this moving forward.

I think it would be better to keep all Application Manager related ideas in one brainstorm than divide into multiple separate storms which do not separately gather as many votes as single storm would. Therefore I would suggest the author to invalidate the separate "download basket" brainstorm and concentrate on this.

Anyhow, if you would keep the separate brainstorm it should be re-edited as now one (of two) of the solutions is given as a problem. I think the issue what that brainstorm was supposed to be is "How to streamline the install process for multiple applications - now one has to select and apply install one by one and that is cumbersome for many applications - how this situation could be improved".

Since my brainstorm has already reached [under consideration] status I will rename it to "Improving App. Manager" if you agree to move your solutions there.
It would speed up the process for you guys and allow direct voting for solutions instead of the entire project.

What do you say?
