Heavy need of Versions is not an UI deficiency. It is a generic problem of advanced user with multiple repositories with the same package in a different shape and a symptom of legal limitations of some packages in some repositories. Well, and I found a bug in the implementation: 1. Subscribe to Packman 2. Search for gstreamer-0_10 3. Click to Dependencies and Versions without resizing the window Actual result: GUI enters into an infinite resize loop ("dancing letters" in the window) and must be killed. Regarding the GUI: I am not sure, whether others will have the same problem with reading the GUI, but I have and also my colleague also had a problem. The tree view mixes data that are read only and Versions that contains important functionality. I was thinking about: Either - Back to a separate comobobox (your b) or - Unfold Versions by default (your a) or - Fold Details by default (similar effect as your c) or - Return back to a single column (It would also display Dependencies a bit better and fix the dead loop) or - Add pane between column 1 and 2 (It would also allow to display Dependencies a bit better) or - Add combobox in the "Version" bound together with "Size", "Repository", and maybe "Supportability" columns in the list of packages. I would probably prefer the Version combobox column in the list of packages as the best solution and a separate combobox as the second best solution, but other solutions would be OK as well (combobox column is much more complicated than one line change). Logically I imagine: select a package, then proper repository/version and finally read (and read only) information from the tree view. On the other hand, the "Space available" combobox seems to be a bit superfluous. While installing, I would care only on free space in / (and eventually /usr, /var, /etc, /srv if mounted separately). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
