[REQUEST] Add Separate "OPEN" Button

Open Neipas09 opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

It's annoying that I have to close the app and re-open it if i accidently OPEN the wrong pkg file. It would be nice if there was an OPEN button that's always visible. (where the arrow is pointing) And then next to it, a button to LOAD/INSTALL, but that button switches from LOAD -> INSTALL depending on if a pkg has been loaded or a new one was opened. image

Usually if you choose the wrong file, you can just clear the text box and the button will become 'open' again.

And if you are in windows, you can just drag&drop the PKG as well.

Good to know. It's just a request, feel free to ignore it if you want.

The problem is when it came for the android, the android/desktop version share the same UI code, the only changes is how it deal the message box... Add a new button mean less space for the aleady small screens... I need to think a bit about it, fo a while I will leave the issue open and see if someone want this as well.

Other point, the initial reason that it was made in a single button, it was because DirectPackageInstatller has been created as a way to install PKG from online urls, in that case, all you need is paste the url in the textbox, the 'open' for local pkgs is a feature that was added later in version 3.3.0
