Re: Working on a new app, the learning curve continues...
Version 4 uploaded.
No bugs, just moved some files around to comply with Debian's FHS policy, added a readme in /usr/share/vai with some info,
and cleaned up some superfluous code in the postisnt script in the .deb package. Looking great!

Re: Working on a new app, the learning curve continues...
Made an updated version that I need to upload, I expanded the search function from title-only to title and description, should have done that from the get-go. Also made a kind of companion app, a manual for Vuu-do, which was previously all in the release notes which was one giant text file. Was able to re-use a lot of the code from the VAI app, the basic GUI code is very simple and works great for any simple app that's intended to display info.

Re: Working on a new app, the learning curve continues...
Version 6 uploaded.
I am constantly amazed at my capability to blithely ignore things that are right in my face.
The VAI app works great, but for some reason I had the scraper script set to
alphabetize by package name rather then the Name field in the .desktops, so the order was
off in the gui. Have fixed the script and now all apps should display in proper order from A-Z.

Re: Working on a new app, the learning curve continues...
Added a button to re-scan the system for new apps and rebuild the database. I thought of it as kind of a throwaway app but it's growing on me, I sometimes forget I have things installed.
EDIT: new version 1.0-7 uploaded now.
