What's New
New Look
The main window has undergone some changes. New toolbar is added with buttons for each action.
Backup & Restore Application Settings
New option to backup and restore settings for an application. Aptik will list all hidden folders in your home directory which contain config files for various applications (Firefox, Chromium, etc). You can select the folders to backup and restore. For example, to backup the settings for Firefox (bookmarks, addons, etc) select and backup the folder ~/.mozilla. This folder can then be restored after doing a fresh installation of Ubuntu to restore your Firefox settings. Similarly, in order to backup the current state of torrents being downloaded by the Deluge Bittorrent Client, quit Deluge and backup the folder ~/.config/deluge. After restoring on the new system you can continue downloading the same torrents.
Restoring the application settings in this way can sometimes cause problems. For example, if the new system has a new version of the application then it may have problems loading the config files created by previous version. If you face issues after restoring files, you can "reset" the application settings using the 'Reset' button. This will delete the selected config directory. New config files will be created automatically (with default settiings) when you run the application next time.
Bug Fixes
A number of bugs were fixed.
- There was an issue while adding PPAs on on some systems. A log window will be displayed with error messages in case of errors while adding a PPA.
- Hard-coded icons have been replaced with icons from the system theme. Hard-coded icons will be used if the current icon theme used on the system doesn't have the required icon.
- Various fixes and improvements.
