LOL, Overwhelming, ha ha ha

Okay I am going to take a holistic approach. You may have thought of these already, or plan these, but it's what is crossing my mind.

1. Put somewhere in top bar which version of apktool/smalia etc you current have load to use.

POSSIBLE. WILL BE DONE NEXT RELEASE

2. The progress bar is a little overwhelming. It's big! LOL While there is not way to have a % based progress bar , becuase we never know how many files and how long it will take to be completed. So maybe a progres bar goign arcoss the bottom of screen. Save the main window realstate for the program itself.

I COVERED THE BUTTONS FOR NOW SINCE I AM SHELLING THE JAR FILES, AND I DONT WANT THE USERS TO PRESS ANY BUTTON SO I DID THAT ON PURPOSE, LET ME THINK OF A BETTER WAY AT THE LAST PART OF THE PROJECT. RIGHT NOW COVERING IT SHOULD DO IT WHILE THE WINDOW WAIT FOR THE COMMAND TO EXECUTE, I DO HAVE A SHELLWAIT THERE BUT IT IS STILL CLICKABLE SO I COVER IT WITH THE PROGRESS BAR

Will referance each window left to right as #1, #2, #3

3. The decompiled selected and recompiled selected enabled toggle is off a bit.

Open program toggle enable selection and then and select a apk in #3 the decompile selected does not enable.

If upon opening program you however select the home #2 window and then toggle enable selection then it works as it's suppose to.

THIS HAVE A NEW LOOK NOW AND UPON MY TESTING I HAVE ADJUSTED THE CODES, I RAN TO SAME SCENARIO, IT LOOK AND EXECUTE OKAY NOW

4. Suggest to save state of enable selection, so to turn it on or off upon opening program.

POSSIBLE. ILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SCENARIOS FOR WITH FILES AND NO FILES THOUGH, BUT ITS DOABLE.

5. Logs, maybe create logs for each decompile. This is what i mean. Select decompile all is cool and you get a log for all decompiles. But as you try to fix a problem becomes cumbersome to look at a huge log file. Suggest to parse it and create a log file of each decompile as well. And then in #2 Mark the main folder (say com.htc.resources) next to the name - with errors in red or something. This highlights that there was errors decompiling/recompiling. Then make it possible to open that log fiel for that apk.

ILL ANSWER THIS LATER, ILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE OTHER FEATURES FIRST. THANKS FOR THE POINT

6. #3 You display files, in the window it apears you have it as two column, but you do utilize the second column. Display more files there or have it display date/timestamp of file

YES IT IS POSSIBLE, WE HAVE SAME THOUGHT, FILE SIZE AND DATE WILL BE THERE, THE SECOND WINDOW WILL HAVE UNCTION RIGHT CLICK MOUSE AS WELL, I AM ANTICIPATING THAT, THE 3RD WINDOW WILL HAVE LOTS OF FEATURES (MORE THAN IT HAS TODAY)

7. I like how it will open the .pngs. It does not however allow you to open apk's with 7-zip etc.

ASSOCIATE YOUR APKS WITH 7ZIP, WHEN YOU DOUBLE CLICK THE FILE IT WILL OPEN WITH 7ZIP, I WILL ADD "OPEN WITH" MENU ON RIGHT CLICK IN THE FUTURE TOO, SO USERS CAN ASSIGN PROGRAM TO OPEN FILE. RIGHT NOW, ANY PROGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILE OPENS IT, IF IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE, IT SHOULD PROMPT WHAT TO OPEN IT WITH

8. Can #3 be set up to show thumbnail of .png's?

POSSIBLE. LOL WE NEED A LARGER WINDOW, HA HA. I MIGHT JUST TOGGLE LISTVIEW AND THUMBVIEW OR SOMETHING.

WILL REPLY AGAIN TO THIS ONE WHATS THE CASE WITH IT

9. A real wild idea. How about bottom of your workspace to have a #4 window that is explorer, so we can drag and drop files as well. Make you program the one stop program to do modding/themeing etc.

LOOK AT THE 2ND IMAGE BELOW, MY HEAD IS ACHING ALREADY WITH READING THE ANDROID ADB AND PROCESSES, LOL, BUT I'M HOPING ILL GET TO SOMEWHERE WITH THAT FUNCTIONALY WITH SOME MINOR BUGS. DELETE FILES, TRANSFER FILES FROM PHONE TO PC, ETC....

Well that is my first blush. I onyl suggest so much since it's in the begining of the process.

Please feel free to totally disregard any and all parts..

This is a great start!!!
