Hi there, In order to design the Yast-GTK package selector, I would like to know what you guys dislike about the Yast-Qt package selector and, if possible, how would you shape the interface to make it more of your liking. Something that we would like to drop is Qt's multi-icon box in favor of ordinary check boxes. For this, we were considering a tab to separate "installed" and "installable" packages whose lists would be in sync with the search panel. Re-installing or any other advanced action would still be possible via a right-click popup menu. Note: we don't really need the tabs approach to use ordinary check boxes. A confirmation dialog in the end may be suffice. Highlighting should also be considered (not only for this). The search/etc panel should probably use tabs rather than the ackward combo box to switch modes. We could avoid a clutter note book by reducing the number of modes. Some could be merged, others don't make sense in some situations. Mockup: http://rpmcruz.planetaclix.pt/trash/software-manager-mockup1.png Instead of the Proceed button, it might be nicer to have the package selector looking the same as the other setup tools (ie with. the Abort, Next buttons and header on top). In the end, a list of the user's selection should be presented, as well as packages that need to be installed or removed because of dependencies. Possibility to not install or remove some package may be nice. Mockup: http://rpmcruz.planetaclix.pt/trash/software-manager-mockup2.png It should be noted that flexibity is restricted and some compromises may need to be done.
