Thanks for the hard work on this :!: :!: :!: :D

Hope you did have a little fun. :lol:

I can visualize you hard at work Coding PPM.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

I like what you have done to PPM with version 1.9.

Did notice one small thing.
The information on the help page is not totally updated to how things are done in the latest version of PPM.

This help page is really more about the 'Classic' user interface and how it works.

It has a help page? :shock: :P

Who reads these days?... I would rather link it to a video with the new PPM in action.

Hopefully someone with writing talent will update that page, because I sure not going to.

Noticed a search results difference between "Classic" and "Ziggy" GUI

The classic GUI search does not show what repository the package is in.
The Ziggy GUI does show the repository.

If you read it, you would see it has some good information for a new Puppy user :shock: :roll:

I will work on some tweaking, of the PPM help page and see if I can make it more updated. I will probably post it to a topic, in documentation section of the forum, for some input from others. :idea:

Give PPM V1.9 a few days to settle down and make sure it is final.

Thanls!!

The genie is out
Let's move it over there if issues arise.

Thanks everyone and particularly Zigbert.
