[Mingw-users] New installer: UI preview

[John E. / T. <td...@td...>]

Hi, folks!

I've been able to put a fair amount of work into mingw-get recently, and 
I've reached a point where I'd like to make sure the user interface is 
moving in the right direction. So I've uploaded a "UI preview" at 
<http://www.tdragon.net/files/mingw-get-prev1.zip>, and would appreciate 
your feedback according to the UI Preview Rules below.

Note: I swiped all the icons directly from the Synaptic screenshots at 
nongnu.org; it would be nice to replace these at some point.

Important: You need to select the directory containing the included 
manifest file in the "Select installation path" dialog; otherwise you 
won't be able to see any packages.

UI Preview Rules:
* A UI preview is one of the earliest executable stages of a program. 
This means that major portions of the program's intended functionality 
*are not present*. Please don't respond with comments like "X doesn't do 
anything".
* The implemented portions of a UI preview *are* intended to approach 
the final UI as closely as possible. Therefore, suggestions for UI 
*changes* are welcome (and desired).
* If you have suggestions for *additions*, feel free to share them (but 
they are probably already planned).
* UIs are for Users. If there is any part of the UI that just doesn't 
"feel right" to you as a User, please mention it!

Thanks,
John E.
