Opening files system tree to save a file in PP
/usr/bin hangs on my N770 for 20-30 sec.
Too many files ... it s normal...

Can you add support to upload the package to the extras repository?
There are instructions on how to do it, but it's been too painful for me so far (as an osx user) to do it (mostly because there is no dedsign for osx). After that, it would make your application a one-stop place to create maemo applications and submit them for the general public to consume. Also would make it easy for people to create updates of their applications.
I'm studying it, because my repository doen't work and i don't have the time to maintain it. But i ll be slow to implements. I dev mainly in the public transport. So without wireless connection to test it

Hey that is great!. I just used 0.4 and noted the place for the icon. I have a feature request to increase the size of the "Description" field. I know that it scrolls to the right, but I think a 2 or 3 line description field would encourage deb creators to put in more info in that field.

I have run across too many debs which are too brief in their description.

Thanks for the great app!

Good idea ... i ll need to modify the UI to have a notebook (not very difficult) ... there no place left on the screen

Perhaps it appears there is more room on my screen. But a little copying and pasting with GIMP, and the screen could look like this:

BTW, great stuff!

You have room because the onscreen virtual keyboard isn't displayed here ...

Good point. I am always using my "think outside" BT keyboard (makes it easier for typing that longer description).

Thanks for the really useful software.

PyPackager updated to version 0.5.0.

I've modify "save" function and added a "save as" feature.
I've also change the UI to be able to enter a multi-line description

I have run into a situation where i might need a postinst script (or modification to existing one?) and was wondering if this was functionality you might want to add into pypackager (or maybe it can already be done).

Are you generating an install script which gets executed? If so can you add text field where we can add line(s) to be inserted at a certain point?

Thanks again for great program!
