Hmm, did you want to test the package itself, or how the AM deal with it? If you just want to test the package, I would recommend getting a shell and just using dpkg. You can install multiple packages with one invocation of dpkg, for example. > - Application installer remembering from which directory > the last file was selected and opening the filesel > to the same dir next time (can be forgotten at > application exit) Yep, that should be fixed. > - After installing one file, application installer asking > with a dialog either: > - "Install another package from file?
