Here is a Mockup that tries to stay as much in app-browser/control-center desdign as possible, in keeping most stuff in the left pane: http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=entwurf5nt8.png There are three basic views: add, remove and update software. Clicking a tile in 'add'-view would mark a package for installation; all marked packages would be installed after pressing the 'perform actions' button. Navigation shown here is a simplified categories-view. 'Package Names' view could be a traditional list view with tickboxes and version numbers; the side-pane changes according to selected view. In 'categories' view, version number would only be visible in the dialogue after clicking a tile (not shown) and selecting 'details' (or if there are multiple versions of a package). Please note the status bar on the lower left that indicates repositories being refreshed in the background! ^_^(I would love to see this stuff backgrounded; and as version-numbers wouldn't be visible in category-view anyway, it should be absolutely possible to mark packages for installation before the specific version-numbers are known.)
