The outline and package panes should be combined IMHO. Perhaps something
like (ascii art):

atk
Component

MyClass
getStruct

FooClass

Where clicking on atk would show all atk packages. Clicking on + show
all packages etc.

The lower section is simply showing the currenly selected package.

That would list all packages and all symbols in the current module? I think the list can be quite long as it currently is. Adding all the packages as well will make it even longer.

It would only list the path to the package that the current module is in (top part of the listview). Each package name in the path is clickable.

If a package name is clicked the bottom part of the listview will show the available modules and subpackages of that package. The top part is updated to show the path to the clicked package only.

If a module is clicked the its content is listed in the bottom part of the list and the top part of the list includes the module name in the path.

Since the style of D is to have flat hierarchies the top part of the view would probably have path with a max of three package names. May the can even be collapsed from:

packA
  packB
    packC

to

packA.packB.packB

in order to take up less space.

Hope it makes sense.
