David,



You can do this in App Get sort of indirectly. There is an edit box in the
Find feature for the app author's name. All you need do is fill that in and
press enter and the current view in App Get will be searched for all apps by
that particular author. I know this could be more obvious but it does work
for now.





Best regards from Ohio,



Vic

OK, I know this is possible for anyone who decides to go to the app central
and do their manual searching and installation. Still, I wish there could
have been implemented such a solution in either the AppGet, or even directly
in the App Manager of Window-Eyes.



If I have installed an app from one developer, and feel that the author is
one with good and reliable apps, I wish there would be a quick way for me to
explore what other apps come from the same source. Say I go to App Manager,
scroll down to the Framework app. Now I could tab over to a button, saying
something like:

Show other apps from same developer

Since the Framework app is from GW, pressing this button would leave me a
list of all the apps released by GW. I now could choose other apps from this
reliable source, and have them installed.



Another feature, could be the chance of browsing by the developer name. Hit
such a button, and you will get a list of the manufacturers, and you choose
the one you want, and get a list of all his currently available apps. Much
like the AppGet does give us the chance of browsing by category.



GW, could any of this be implemented? And rest of list, is this something
that you think could be useful?
