confused about the icons

[sulasno]

will the developer considering changing the icons as I am having problems in trying to understand what they mean ?

 

for example, if there is an update, use an icon with the word "Update" so that users know which applications to download and install the updates

Erm....icons with words in it are not quite icons anymore

If you do not like the icons (which I believe are not that bad actually) you can also enable the "Status" column.

Changing icons?

I think the icons are great and very easy to understand.I mean:

Green = OK

Yellow/Gold = Update

Red = Error

 

Honestly what is there not to understand?.I mean you do know traffic lights right?.Same colors

How about a suggestion of interface customisation through the use of skins / themes / icon sets? Start small for now (e.g. icon sets) and if the interest is there and time permits, go bigger (e.g. skins/themes).

I believe this means no request to update or check for updates has been made since opening Ketarin.

Ketarin displays applications own icon when no action has been performed.Only thing Ketarin could do is not to display them at all since all applications have their own icon that generally depends on the file extension the download package has.

.msi - defined by system

.exe - defined by application creator but some are default too(defined by system)

.zip;.rar;.7z;.iso - defined by the program in your system that has been set as default when opening these types of archives.

 

Actually it's a good thing that Ketarin uses applications own icons.Makes it easier to understand what im dealing with.Still sometimes it's helpful to group applications by their file extension so open File-Settings and add a new custom column:

Column Name: File Extension

Column Value: {file:ext}

 

This allows you to group all apps by their extension and thus the icons should line up nicely too(exept .exe since there are many types of icons).If some application does not show extension then select Rightclick-Force Download
