Since i cannot see ShapeLine in OPM, i ask to add it.
I renamed component files,  and moved files in repo.

Done. Thanks for the package.

@GetMem, with the issues on Cocoa and the bar, would it be possible to get an option added to the tree popup-menu for installing the selected item(s)?

The installer function seems to work, just the graphics glitch blocking it from being clicked.

I will try to add it in the next few days. I'm not sure though how many package will install under cocoa, since it's a relatively new widgetset. Thanks for the feedback.

Before I was having trouble with the buttons, most things seemed to install fine

@Trenatos

I added the following short cut keys:

Ctrl + R  Refresh package list
Ctrl + D  Download package
Ctrl + I  Install package
Ctrl + E  Install package from External Source 
Ctrl + U  Uninstall package
Ctrl + L  Open Local Repository
Ctrl + C  Cleanup
Ctrl + P  Create Repository Package
Ctrl + O  Options
Ctrl + H  Help

Please test with trunk.

No joy I'm afraid, seems to get overridden by Lazarus/system hotkeys.

It works fine here. Please test with r. 58715. Initially I did not commit the form.

Odd, I can't get the hotkeys to work (I used fpcupdeluxe to update laz and fpc to trunk), but now I can use the dropdown next to the regular install button and click the options (Local/repo) and it seems to work.

Hi,

are there any statistics available of how many downloads a package had since it is listed in Online Package Manager?

Unfortunately I don't have any statistic about package downloads. I'm not the site maintainer, only a regular user who has upload rights to https://packages.lazarus-ide.org/.

Hi all,

I added a new field named "Community description" for each metapackage(root node). The field will contain a short description of the package, but the information will be provided by us(community), not the package maintainer. This is especially important for packages that are no longer maintained.  If someone is regularly use a package and is willing to give a short description please let me know. 2-3 sentence is more then enough, no need for long text. For maintained packages the final word belongs to the developers, he/she has the right to change the text if necessary. For more info please see attached images(just a sample, not real info).
User Alextp came up with this very useful idea, he will also provide the description for the packages or at least a part of it.

As always suggestions and feedback are welcome. Thank you.

regards,
GetMem

Awesome addition, the community description.

I see tooltips for metapackages, and while tooltip is shown, i Alt+Tab to Firefox. It is Linux gtk2.
Result of alt+tab is still the same tooltip floating above firefox.
