Wasn't supposed to have multiple profiles at once. The reason being the download thread is created new every time a new download is going. You'll kill the old thread if you try this. I guess self.downloads needs to be an array of threads, and we kill all those threads on_destroy instead of a single one. This just makes things more complicated than I'm comfortable with, so I'd rather keep it to one thread? > > - *Serious : *The status shows installed and that specific > program[ex:cpushare] deb file is created with 0bytes when downloads are > cancelled. > > Not sure what you mean on this one?

You will have to add a column to the packages_liststore for the status color. Then edit the packages treeview to use the color property of the text based on that column. > Chris/ Mac - > Are we maintaining wiki which shows features to be added/TBD list ?

I'm probably done doing work on Keryx until I graduate unfortunately. Things are getting busy again, but I made a huge push to get it out the door. Glad things work for the most part.
