Notification on New App Install? #134

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'd like to propose an idea to simplify the use of DW. All too often do I get 
in to my "must get new apps" mood start downloading. I go to run the new app 
and connection failure. DOH! I forgot about DW. So, I have to back out, go in 
to DW, find it, apply it, back out, go back in to app. 

If you're familiar with the "Apps 2SD Free" app by Sam Lu (and I'm sure others 
do this as well), you'll know that once an app is installed, it checks to see 
if it's Apps2SD compatible and if so, throws a notification where you can 
select it and shortcut right to the settings page so you can move it.

How about a similar (user preference selectable) feature? When DW is enabled 
and iptables applied, it can sit and watch for new apps to be installed and 
throw up a notification. This way I'm reminded "Hey, do I need it?" and can 
select it to apply if so. If I feel the app does not need access, a simple 
clear or just ignore the notification and all is well.

Thoughts?

Although this request is older, it still isn't implemented.  I just started 
using this program and this would be an enhancement that would make things a 
lot easier.
