Hi z (and the others)
It is a well-known fact that installation summary is way too slow with large lists. I don't know if there even exists a way to make it faster :( (provided that filtering is done with every check-box status change)
It has been reported: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455935 but will not be fixed
OK, making it faster may be a trouble...
Good news is, that there is a pending online update patch for Qt packager that solves this particular problem as well. I mean, the filtering is still far from being fast for very large lists, but now the time is in the order of few seconds, not minutes and it definitely does not make y2base hang ...
And how about to notify user, that some long indexing process started with possibility to interrupt process with some button from GUI? And to make GUI responsive to the user, while list is processing(now it is not true). i mean for ex. make GUI separate thread(or maybe even process) with priority above indexing thread?
GUI already *is* a separate thread (separate from YaST - y2base). It does not create separate thread for libzypp (the thing that does indexing/filtering) and I don't know if that's doable at all ...
