Well, this thread has been going for awile so I'll chip my 2 cents in. :-)
I appreciate all the hard work the programmers have put into improving the
backend functionality of rpmdrake, but like a few others, I believe that the
user interface could be better. It is not as convenient to have to open up
multiple windows to achieve something that was done in one window. Also, in
the past, I've always dragged the rpmdrake icon to my task bar because I use
it so much. Now...I would have to drag 2 icons there, and I'm hearing that I
would have to use -4- with the new 9.1 beta? Is that right? Tad bit unhandy,
that.... :-)
Currently, I set my entries to 10 on the taskbar, with most used items, and it
keeps open and remove software available to me from the Kmenu popup. Still,
that takes up 2 slots it did not before...and will it take 4 slots with the
new beta? Hmm...
My opinion (next to worthless, I know), is that a single, *tabbed* interface
using the new backend stuff would be...handier.... <grin>
Thanks for listening...
