Thanks for testing, particularly in such an old build.
Is 5.5.1 what?

I do not remember having seen that. And I can not reproduce it. Maybe is puppy/hardware specific. Also is not clear to me what "two horizontal lines" means. Maybe a screeny will help.

Sorry. I'm the "visual" type
A screeny would be again helpful here but I can not see any truncation of the description field (if that's what you mean). If you suggest that the description window should auto-resize at the expense (up to a limit) of the repository window, that is a design limitation. The 2 windows have a fixed width ratio. Not sure if gtkdialog can do what you suggest though, and I'm certainly sure that
I can not. Have you seen that in any other gtkdialog app? We welcome pointers or better yet, patches
(or bug Zigbert
)

This is not what I see. Besides, if you open the configure window, change the "ticked" repositories and press OK, PPM will automatically restart and have the new set, which remains through restarts till further change. Isn't it what you get? If you change the repos and close the window without pressing OK, will (correctly) be considered as a cancelled operation and will be discarded.

PPM design (original or new) does not include an "rc" file, where current UI variables could be written. So it always opens to the configured settings. "Full screen" is not a configurable option at this point.
Maybe PPM3 should use an "rc" file.

PPM in general assigns things to "Utilities if there is not a *.desktop entry to specify otherwise. The PPM2 pet does not have a desktop entry since this file is not changed from the original. Maybe I'll add one. But I wouldn't wary about that as PPM suppose to be built-in and not an installable package. It is already in woof-CE.

This may take a really long time... But which of the above is a feature that the old one has?
