Description:
 QTGZManager is a TGZ package management
application that uses standard pkgtools (present
in any Slackware based system) to manage the
software in the OS. It provides an easy to use
four pane view (directories, packages in the
selected dir, installed packages in the system and
package actions), drag and drop and context menus
support. It also uses kdesu to ask your root
credential when needed. 

Built with *QT4.4.x*, GCC and Kdevelop 3.5.1.


Changelog:
 Beta4 -> Beta5

- Reworked interface: gets a menubar, minimizes
unused spaces and remembers your preferences;

- Compatible with Slackware 13.0 TXZ packages;
 
- Reworked package recognition algorithm
recognizes the package status instantaneously;
 
- Find a package in your system just pressing
Ctrl+K;
 
- Find files on package content you've just
opened;
 
- Set a default directory to be selected every
time you launch the application;
 
- Make QTGZ starts hidden, enabling your window
manager to automatically launch it without messing
your desktop;

- Among many bug fixes...

Beta3.1 -> Beta4

**Beta4 NEEDS Qt 4.4.x installed!

the first pane

the mouse is over the package lists
