Installation was a breeze. Love the new custom partition section especially. It's practically bullet-proof now.

No preselected options. Just select the relevant partitions.
I did notice my boot partition (nvme0n1p1) didn't have a label but root did (nvme0n1p2). I selected /boot/efi from the drop down.

EFI partition selected automatically now.

Adding the various logs to view from QSI is perfect. Nice touch.

[Jerry3904]

Did a clean install 5 hrs ago on my AAO 722 test machine, reusing home and adding a swap file in addition to a swap partition b/c this is relatively slow machine.

All went well, though I have one small (minor) observation: when on my 1366x768 display the Installer gets to the Customized Installation > Partition choice, its window is small enough that most of that critical selection table is off the app's window. I can change it manually but I already know what I'm missing. That table is hard enough for many users that I wonder if it would be useful and possible to scale it differently.

Here on a 1366x768 screen:
On the current default window size 800x600 of the installer the right columns are not visibel:

minstaller-default-size-800x600.jpg

Maybe the default windows size of the Installer get adjusted a bit like this:
On a Screen size greater 1024x768 the default installer window size get set to 980x600
in addition the left help pane get a bit reduce in width, so that all columns get displayed:

minstaller-default-size-980x600.jpg

For screen sizes like 1024x768 or smaller the default installer windows get set as it is now 800x600.
Thanks

1. Installation process runs smoothly, no problems or bugs found.
2. No problems with LibreOffice anymore.
3. There are still some localization issues:
- There are some strings in MX-Installer not translated to Polish. Especially the partition manager tab looks strange, when the sheet is in English, but the help on the left side in Polish. It seems, that the translation on Transifex, I did a couple days ago, was not included.
- MXFB Settings Manager is only partially translated to Polish. The descriptions under icons in the SM are in English despite of the correspondent program names in the Appfinder are in Polish. The only thing is translated are buttons and partially the "About" section.
- The Font App is not translated to Polish.
- The Tint2 Manager is not translated to Polish.

Dear @dolphin_oracle ,

The link to sourceforge goes to Xfce.
It does not go to the Fluxbox directory.

If people are not careful, they will download the wrong ISO.

See you soon,
Wallon

there are additional localizations for the installer that I've packaged last night/this morning.

[Jerry3904]

Tint2 Manager has not been translated yet into any language AFAIK for lack of Dev time.

It seems at this point that some localization problems might have to be fixed after Release.

[fehlix]

- The Font App is not translated to Polish.
- The Tint2 Manager is not translated to Polish.

Thanks for the report.
Just adjusting the Tint2 Manager to get available translations displayed. The Help text seem not to have made it onto transifex yet, so will shortly be send onto transifex for translations. Also just checking the mx-font re-translation .. I may see what the issue might be ...

[Melber]

- MXFB Settings Manager is only partially translated to Polish. The descriptions under icons in the SM are in English despite of the correspondent program names in the Appfinder are in Polish. The only thing is translated are buttons and partially the "About" section.

mxfb-settings: same in German and other languages I tried (es, fr, it, pl, ru)
Buttons get translated, message and app names do not.

RC3 in German

Different to MX21, where the app names get translated but message and buttons do not.
