* Your twitter message says "Please replace all blog&forum posts about how to install Preware with a single link to http://install.preware.org/". You forget completely that there are plenty of non-english speaking people, so how about some translations of this page?<br />
** It's a wiki, editable and extendable by all community members - please adds translations of this page as you see fit, don't wait for someone else to do it.[[User:RodWhitby|RodWhitby]] 11:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
*** @Squ33d, as you can see here [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:MetaDoctor-FR MetaDoctor-FR], I have translated the Meta Doctor wiki page in french. If you translate an english wiki page in an other language, please add 2 letters code language as FR here for french in the URL. And add too an header in english in the wiki article in your language, that explain if it is a translation from an other article or a new article with a little summary in english for the others translators. Squ33d, I hope that this comment can help you. Don't forget that this wiki is for all the Palm webOS community and that an article in an other than english can help one or more people in the world.[[User:Yannick56|Yannick56]] 14:00, 19 May 2010 (GMT+2)<br />
**** Okay, a german translation of the installation is now available, see [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware-DE Preware-DE][[User:Squ33d|Squ33d]] 16:35, 26. May 2010 (CEST)<br />

Adding some suggestions... --[[User:Decimation|Decimation]] 15:14, 17 August 2009 (EST)<br />
* Show a progress bar or some sort of notification of the download/installation progress of an app..it would really be nice to have some feedback after clicking install.<br />
* Change the pop up dialog when an app is installed/removed... it's kinda ugly. Maybe show a notification at the bottom? That would be pretty cool.<br />
** The popup dialog is temporary until the service can supply progress of the action. When there is a progress bar, the popup will no longer be needed. --[[User:Oil|oil]] 20:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Adding some suggestions...for way into the future -- (s4mb4)<br />
* a process that would hook into the notification system to notify of available updates.<br />
<br />
Adding some suggestions... -- [[User:Tlp|Tlp]] 23:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
* Swipe installed applications in list to uninstall<br />
** Is there a time where you want to remove multiple apps? (multiple as in more then a couple.) --[[User:Oil|oil]] 20:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Adding some suggestions... --[[User:Decimation|Decimation]] 12:30, 20 August 2009 (EST)<br />
* Adding an "Update All" button to the update menu would be cool.. convenience is key ;)<br />
<br />
Adding some suggestions... --[[User:Awegwert|Awegwert]] 17:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
* user defined filters. This may be an open source friendly solution to filtering out app spam.<br />
<br />
Suggestion: --[[User:Cdjh|Cdjh]] 15:54, 30 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
*Add a feature to remove all patches and modifications to webos before and webos update. Sort of a "Get me ready for and update" button. This would allow the user to remove all these patches such as the virtual keyboard with one button to update webos without fear. One button to add them back after the update would be cool too<br />
<br />
Suggestion: [[User:StoneRyno|StoneRyno]] 21:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
*Download counts and ratings. The end of the current detail page is ok but feels more like looking at one of the technical detail scenes like the ##DEBUG# scene. I think that info can be cleaned up to look more presentable, small font size and put version last update and size in a bar near the top of the page like seen in the official app catalog.<br />
<br />
Suggestion: [[User:Hmagoo|Hmagoo]] 11:30, 4 September 2009 (UTC)<br />
*We're in need of a workaround for the limit on installable apps via the app catalog. Preware gets around this but also, in the process, adds to the number of installed apps as seen by the App Catalog, et al. What would be a useful feature is to be able to uninstall hunks of apps previously installed by Preware in an effort to make apps installable via the App Catalog. This would be a temporary removal as we would desire reinstalling the homebrews after using the App Catalog.<br />
**Caveats: Homebrew apps that use databases, and installed/downloaded files would not be removed without reducing their usability, So we would want to exclude on a case by case basis or with the use of flags?<br />
**Preware is great in keeping track of what is installed and which version, would be great to see something like this added so that we can use the App Catalog and install piles of Homebrews. (smile)<br />
<br />
Bug?: Searching for numbers --[[User:smwald|smwald]] 02:05, 29 December 2009 (EST)<br />
* When searching for items in preware, one is not able to search using numbers.<br />
<br />
Feature Request: --[[User:GrillSgt|GrillSgt]] 07:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)<br />
* Would like to be able to rate, comment and donate on themes, patches and apps through Preware, like can be done in the App Catalog.<br />
<br />
Feature Request: Collapse Sub-lists --[[User:Flare576|Flare576]] 18:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)<br />
* When viewing a list of apps and then sorting, you get small headings ("Less than $1," or "This Week"). It would be great to be able to collapse those sub-lists in order to facilitate faster list viewing.<br />
<br />
Feature Request: Feed Keyword Filtering --[[User:Flare576|Flare576]] 02:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)<br />
* There are certain applications and developers that I would like to be able to simply ignore. It would be great if there was an area I could setup universal (and feed specific if you think it'd be useful) filters so that I never have to see them. This would also be a step ahead of the appstore :)<br />
<br />
== Possible Bug/Suggestion ==<br />
<br />
The new messages during version check/feed downloading are much better at explaining what is going on. However, I still have a problem if I get a notification or switch away from Preware after I open it before it finishes downloading. All of the steps between clicking the Preware icon and loading the feeds seem to require that Preware be in the foreground and not interrupted. Once it starts loading the feeds, I can switch away with no problem, and even get the nice banner popup that tells me when the feeds are finished. Is there a way to fix this problem so that I can open preware and immediately switch to another app, without it getting stuck on version checking or updating feeds?<br />
<br />
I can explain the problem in more detail if this is confusing, and I can recreate it every time.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<br />
== Bug- Apps Fail to install from catalog ==<br />
<br />
I am the developer from Engine Equals Car. Our app Media Remote will not install from the app catalog if you have preware installed. People who can work on this can contact me at support@engineequalscar.com<br />
--[[User:Tonyparisi|Tonyparisi]] 05:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)<br />
*I noticed this as well, it seems to apply to all apps that are in both the official app catalog and a homebrew app catalog. You should notice that you don't need to remove preware to install the app from the official catalog, but simply disable the feed in preware then "update feeds" to refresh the list then it should install fine from the official app catalog. Hope this helps out anyone who is working on this. --[[User:Nosoupforyou|Nosoupforyou]] 03:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)<br />
**Whether or not it was the problem, it seems to be fixed now as of Preware 0.9.24--[[User:Nosoupforyou|Nosoupforyou]] 17:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Display Bug - Heading in "Updates" section scrolls too high ==<br />
<br />
When viewing "Available Updates," and sorted by date, if there is an official app with an update and you use the "Update All" button, the "Today" text will actually scroll up and get stuck under the "Package Updates" title. My scenario was one homebrew and 3 official apps with updates, but after using the button it still appeared when there were only the 3 official left. Swiping back and then stepping in again resolves the situation, but it still looks glitchy :) --[[User:Flare576|Flare576]] 18:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Investigate Update All functionality with multiple App Catalog apps ==<br />
<br />
Mainly making sure to make it obvious why nothing happens in Preware when it skips those. Or perhaps send the user the the first app in the list. And upon return to Preware, check if the update went through and mark accordingly.<br />
<br />
== How to type "webOS"? ==<br />
<br />
I don't know how to properly type "webOS" depending on how it's used.<br />
<br />
In the sentence "Palm is the maker of webOS", the 'w' is lower case.<br />
<br />
In the sentence "Use WebOS Quick Install to install Preware", is the 'w' Capital because it's the title of the software package, or lower case because that's what Palm named it? <br />
<br />
What about when the word "webOS" is the beginning of a sentence, is it still lower case (I think so).<br />
<br />
<br />
M.<br />

<br />
Xanadu: palm seems to keep the w lowercase when it's the beginning of a sentence. --[[User:Oil|oil]] 18:41, 21 July 2010 (UTC)</div>Konsul1http://wiki.webos-internals.org/index.php?title=File:VBA_Rom-Launcher.jpg&diff=11474File:VBA Rom-Launcher.jpg2010-09-22T11:21:09Z<p>Konsul1: Application:Preware moved to Perfid: Prefox</p>

<!--{{icon|Icon_Preware.png|float:right;}}--><br />
[[image:Icon_Preware.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Preware is a package management application for the Palm Pre and the Palm Pixi. Preware allows the user to install any package from any of the open standard package repositories on preware.org (or any other location that hosts an open standard package repository). Preware relies on a custom written service developed from community research which allows the mojo app to talk to the built-in ipkg tool.<br />
<br />
'''Preware requires webOS 1.4.0 or later to function. Do not try to install it on earlier webOS versions, it will not work.'''<br />
<br />
This application was the result of extensive community-based design in [[IPKG Service]] and [[Preware Design]].<br />
<br />
For application management, Preware can access more applications, and has more features, than any other on-device package installer.<br />
<br />
And since it is open source, and has a completely open development process supported by a team of world-class WebOS Internals developers, it will continue to get better much faster than any other package management application.<br />
<br />
Preware is the open application installer that has been written specifically to support a homebrew ecosystem where any developer can upload any application to any submission site, and that application can then be installed by any user. Developers no longer need to upload their applications to multiple submission sites, and users are no longer excluded from accessing applications from any open standard package repository.<br />
<br />
<BR><br />
===Key Features===<br />
Install / Remove / Update:<br />
*Homebrew Applications including advanced applications with special requirements. <br />

<br />
<BR><br />
=Installing Preware=<br />
<br />
There are three supported methods for installing Preware: WebOS Quick Install, Stand Alone Installers, and Command Line. <br />
<br />
You do not need to access the Linux command line or "root your Pre" to install or use Preware.<br />
<br />
You ''cannot'' use fileCoaster, or PreLoad, or PreUpdate to install or update Preware. Those tools are unable to operate correctly on advanced homebrew packages.<br />
<br />
If you are a developer who uses the Palm emulator, you should know that Preware works just as well on the Emulator as it does on a real device, and is installed in exactly the same way.<br />
<br />
<BR><br />
===Installing Preware with WebOS Quick Install===<br />
You can use version 3.14 or later of [http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/228310-webos-quick-install-v3-14-a.html WebOS Quick Install] to install Preware directly from the WebOS Internals feed.<br />

===Installing Preware from the Commandline===<br />
If you have access to the command line of your webOS Device or emulator using Terminal, Novaterm, the "Linux Commandline" in WebOS Quick Install, or other techniques, you can install Preware by typing three lines. This technique is always the shortest and in many ways the simplest, but if you are in any way unsure of operating at the Linux command line, please use either of the methods described above. <br />
<br />
<source lang="bash"><br />
cd /tmp<br />
wget http://bit.ly/preware-bootstrap<br />
sh preware-bootstrap</source><br />
<br />
<BR><br />
===Updating Preware===<br />
To update Preware, just run Preware and select "Package Updates" from the main scene. If an update to Preware is available, it will appear in the list. Then select the "Update" button. Preware will close automatically after the update is complete.<br />
<br />
Note that you cannot use fileCoaster, or PreLoad, or PreUpdate to install or update Preware. Those tools are unable to operate correctly on advanced homebrew packages.<br />
<br />
<BR><br />
<br />
===Removing Preware===<br />
''Why would you ever want to remove Preware?''<br />

===Limitations===<br />
No known limitations.<br />
<br />
<BR><br />
===Known bugs===<br />
*When selecting a patch with dependencies, if you view those dependencies then install them, when Preware returns you to the original patch's screen it will still have the 'install' button showing even though it is installed successfully. Swiping back and returning will show the correct status.<br />
<br />
*The Update All button can get confused if there are patches with complex dependencies. This will be fixed in a future version.<br />
<br />
*If updates to App Catalog applications are pending, they will be silently skipped when using the Update All button.<br />
<br />
*The Updates feature from the regular Palm Launcher, may claim that application updates are needed, and then when the user clicks Show Updates shows the App Catalog's installed applications, there are none shown that need updating. This isn't as expected. This is because an app that was previously only in Preware has now migrated to the Palm Catalog. Don't worry, your apps are up to date (with the possible exception of the one with the conflict.) This is not a bug in Preware per se' but an app version conflict because the app is in both the Palm Catalog and also in Homebrew. Notice that you don't need to remove Preware to install the app from the official catalog, but simply disable the feed in Preware then "update feeds" to refresh the list then it should install fine from the official app catalog.<br />

;1.3.6:<br />
* Preware now supports installation of application package files (.ipk files) directly from URLs, email attachments, and local files.<br />
* Also supported are Send to Preware links on homebrew application gallery and news websites (this requires the Neato! application to also be installed).<br />
* If Preware continually asks you about file associations on every single launch, even after you have answered Yes to the questions it asks, then you may have a damaged file association table and will need to run the Emergency MimeTable Reset tool and then reboot to repair it.<br />
<br />
;1.3.5:<br />
* Updated German translations.<br />
