Should be more intuitive this way. Especially fast navigation using the auto path completion is now possible. - First little part of AppPlaSys-Settings is included now. This is the graphical settings manager for AppPlaSys which should not be used yet as it just offers three little values to change and as it is not safe when run before the first AppPlaSys run has taken place... - some little improvements -- Lucas Sichardt Sat, 08 Mar 2014 21:08:31 +0100 appplasys (2014-02-16.01) ; urgency=low * - added units converter to Applications part.

("start-here" was always used for that reason in earlier AppPlaSys versions but it is not always used as the distribution logo in all Linux variants) - fixed a bug causing threading problems on startup on some systems preventing AppPlaSys to show a window at all - favorites button is no longer automatically activated once all icons are loaded - now directly calling favorites-function to reload favorites icons (only when favorites are still shown and user didn't change the view which would cause view update itself) - fixed an issue preventing YaST icon from being shown. -- Lucas Sichardt Wed, 01 Jan 2014 19:36:03 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-27.01) ; urgency=low * - minor bug fixes; icons now updated when finishes with loading (even when user doesn't do any input), background threads (command listener and data observer) now started AFTER showing the window -- Lucas Sichardt Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:04:51 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-26.01) ; urgency=low * - number of cpu cores should be corect now (was showing maximum number of supported cores by the mainboard while now showing number of actually present cores) - great performance improvement: application icons are now loaded asynchronous instead of whole application waiting for them. (On my system when hard disk was heavily busy like on system startup AppPlaSys in autostart needed up to 40 seconds to load - now it needs less then 4 seconds!) - added task managers, system monitors and disk related tools to "system tools" - performance improvement for apps categories: search pattern are no longer checked if they can't change if the corresp. app is displayed or not, because another (optional or forbidden) pattern already matched - added a self-made icon for CINNAMON desktop as there's no official one -- Lucas Sichardt Thu, 26 Dec 2013 12:36:47 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-25.02) ; urgency=low * - fixed another bug in desktop recognition algorithm - should now be able to find out which desktop is running if this information is included in any relevant environment variable at all -- Lucas Sichardt Wed, 25 Dec 2013 18:13:35 +0100 () ; urgency=low * -- <> Wed, 25 Dec 2013 18:12:48 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-25.01) ; urgency=low * - fixed a bug preventing the desktop recognition algorithm to work correctly (was not as reliable as intented) - added more system information on system part (memory and processor info) - fixed a little bug that caused an error message on command line when button height was configured as fixed value by config file instead of calculation by system font size - added mate-control-center button for MATE desktop -- Lucas Sichardt Wed, 25 Dec 2013 17:31:50 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-22.01) ; urgency=low * - added system information panel -- Lucas Sichardt Sun, 22 Dec 2013 17:32:37 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-21.03) ; urgency=low * - Fixed little bug preventing some desktops to be recognized when given by command line argument -- Lucas Sichardt Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:53:52 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-21.02) ; urgency=low * - compatibility fix for older versions withour proper version echecking -- Lucas Sichardt Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:38:24 +0100 appplasys (2013-12-21.01) ; urgency=low * - better version checking on startup so that AppPlaSys should rebuild database after every installation of new version.

This also means that there's no more strange behavior on desktops after switching users. It's also possible to run an unlimited number of AppPlaSys instances when launched by different users on a multiuser system. All those instances will still use one single server for inter process communication which is needed for fast unhiding of AppPlaSys. Of course no data will be exchanged between AppPlaSys instances of different users. -- Lucas Sichardt Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:22:37 +0100 appplasys (2013-11-26.01) ; urgency=low * Fixed a problem with new versions if old settings file was present and not containing settings that weren't needed in old versions.
