Supposedly fixed in some "next" version, but you can vote for the bug:

By patching the source I can do a workaround.

Did you ever solve the problem? I can only read my application names if I use the filters, of which there are many, instead of "all".

I read the bug report you linked - seems Nokia didn't understand that this was a problem. Perhaps the person answering was not using the "all" filter like a real user.

Would love to get a patched copy if you have one.

Thanks.

Thanks all for your help. Unchecking the box worked for me.

That works but not in "real" red pill mode when we need to display all applications, because in that mode we get _very_ long version names

Thanks all! Unchecking "show all packages" while in red pill mode worked for me.

what if you really do need to see all applications, though?

I find it very unlikely that you actually need to see anything outside of User/. Still, if you really need it, wait for Diablo or use apt.

I recently needed red pill to install some dependency. I was able to see enough of the name to select it, and the "info" button confirmed i'd gotten it right before clicking install. But Red Pill is largely broken when i've turned all the repositories on. It's usually some dependency thing.

At least one package says this on install: "oh, i need this library, and btw, it's in such and such repository, and you don't have that one, do you want that repository?" That's the way i like it. When it works that way, you get this feeling that you're better off than if all you got was a source tarball.

I can't find this "show all packages" checkbox. Guess I've gone blind. Where is it?

Preferences.
