    I reckon a suitable stock button name would be “gtk-go-back” ( or “gtk-go-back-ltr” ? )

    I wanted to use it (yad automatically translates it) but the button is , as you mentioned later, gtk-go-back-ltr.
    I have opted to use that icon and simply translate “Back” manually.

    The later version showed “Quit?” in places that didn’t make sense (at a given juncture, it wasn’t appropriate to “quit” ~~ maybe changing to “Cancel” or “Back” would remove potential confusion).

    Thanks. This is the specific feedback I needed from you. I have changed it to “Close” for all the pop-up windows where “quit” didn’t make sense.

    The only other detail I would add to the script (for my use) would be to generate a manifest for each transaction.
    example:
    If I requested localrepo download of package “fbdesk”, and the retrieved pkg is fbdesk_1.4.1-10_amd64.deb
    write fbdesk_1.4.1-10_amd64.txt containing a manifest of all the associated downloaded debfiles.

    Actually, the .repo file generated after downloading a package contained the list of all packages downloaded/related to the package selected. But you are right that one needs to know what is going to be downloaded before proceeding. I have added a List button to display all packages/dependencies that will be downloaded for the selected package.

    Thanks very much for the feedback.
    I will also include, as it was before, an option to select the amount of dependencies one wants to download. Direct dependencies, based on apt-rdepends (if installed) or all dependencies. This way there is better control.

    I do not want to discourage you, on the contrary

    Thanks. Don’t be afraid to suggest things. I will try to add them if I can. If I cannot, then i will proceed as with the “Enter” button issue, and say it is too much for me.
    I am happy it is working well for you. I will try to finish the config file and menu soon so i can include them in the next update.
    If you see something you don’t like, let me know.
