Oh, I'm quite positive. I took a look at the code in 30664. Changing view preference is already in the right-click menu on the repositories, and it is global. I *never* found it there before. Though it has something to do with repositories, putting it in the repositories menu is not helpful, as its context is not a single repository. The same problem exists with the package side, the sort methods don't belong in the context menu of individual packages. I'd suggest adding a dropdown-menu on a button in the searchfield-row for both the packages and the repositories, allowing the setting of all-package and all-repository properties. And of course removing the preference and moving it to the instance side. Stephan
