>How can I define a local directory to install the packages from instead from an internet location ? Do I have to us an URL like file://Work:Downloads/ ?
What do you mean by this? If you want to handle .pmi files from disk, use "Add Index" button. This loads local (on your machine) indexes ie. for testing before upload.

>Is it possible to install packages also if the index file doesn't exist (any more) ß
No, thats not possible so far, but should be a option in the future.

>Can I extract package files manually, too ?
Why you should do that? I see no reason in doing this.


@guruman:
>I think the client should report an up-to-date packet if the only diffs are located in the icons...
Yes, in the future there should be an alternate state of the icons, showing the install-state, not only the file-state like now.

>Is it possible to have the possibility to create a packet and a description...
Thats a good point, but sounds a bit complicated to implement in the current state. Such complexity was not planned in the beginning, was not in the bounty requirements.

>I agree with the suggestion to let some scripting be executed as part of the installation process...
This option is discussed in many ways already and i agree with you. Could be implemented after 1.0...

>I would add some subclasses to the Package Classes...
Ok, but then one _must_ give a path for such a subclass. There is no difference to "Install at..." then.

Thanks for your feedback :)
