Mainly lacking features in the gtk edition I can think to:
* No versions shown in the list (you've to click on all single packages). This was solved in the first proposal.
I don't see that having multiple versions of the same package in the list is good; it just gets crowded and unmanageable.
* No highlighting of newest/oldest packages (in the qt version: blue -> a new package is available, red -> the installed package is newer than what's in repositories). This was solved in the first proposal, using icons.
Errr... Newest packages are listed in the 'Upgrades' view. Again, I'm not a fan of having the list stuffed with multiple versions of packages, graced with colourful icons.
* Highest number of clicks to do one task: 1 click to select/lock/update a package in Qt, 2 clicks in the gtk version.
I don't think 2 clicks is too much. And if you want to select and update/lock multiple packages you have to use 2 clicks in both the QT and the GTK GUI anyway, so the difference is naught.
Moreover, it's quite different from the Qt interface, so it makes hard to support people for example on IRC, or to write general tutorials/documentation.
If writing a tutorial is all you worry about, I'd volunteer to write one. It'd be a heck of a lot easier than writing a how-to for the old QT-GUI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
