Hi Max, just a final thought on the 'keep' sutff (maybe you've gone ahead and coded it already, so then you forget about this). This is on the question to put 'keep' in the spin control or a radio button. we had

Then there's a nice distinction: kris> - radio buttons signify 'trust level' kris> - default et al signify what you want to do. max> I don't like it. Setup's clicky spin control things are not the easiest max> thing to use. I would much prefer a radio button. I now think that putting 'keep' as a radio button on the same level as 'current' and 'experimental' is actually bad (sorry, I suggested it myself!). If you intreprete it as a trust level, you invalidate the 'install' setting of the spin control, as 'install' shouldn't do anything in that case. I think this is a serious source for confusion. By the way, an alternative to the spin control would be to have a drop-down list for every category, with the list of settings in there: upgrade to current versions upgrade to experimental versions keep remove (or uninstall) install current install experimental reinstall Less clicking, more familiar user interface, but more programming work I guess.
