           Product: rpmdrake
         Component: rpmdrake
           Summary: Improvements to UI
           Version: 2.1-9mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Just a couple of minor points that I feel might improve the UI for rpmdrake. 
These are of course personal preference, however I guess user feedback is of
some use to you.

When selecting 'Maximum information', the information I am generally interested
in is to do with versions and version history, it is very rare that I am
interested in the files associated with the rpm as these are generally the same
as the old rpm, and it is a bit annoying to have to scroll through thousands of
lines of files to see what is included in the latest change.

With this in mind I think laying out the information in the following order
might make rpmdrake a little more user friendly.

Name:
Version:
Currently installed Version:
Source:
Size:

Summary:

Description:

Change Log:

Files:


The second point is very trivial, when 'right' clicking over the packages list,
the second line down reads 'Reload the packages list', this is a little
misleading as it sort of implies that the package list will be downloaded again.
 It might make it a little clearer if this line were changed to 'Refresh
packages list'.

I hope this kind of feedback is of some interest, even though I realise
technically it is not a bug.

Kind regards,

Robert Thorneycroft
