Feedback and Ideas #2

First of all, thank you for this - I really enjoy using it and have not encountered any problems so far. Just wanted to share a couple ideas for potential features. It would be cool to be able to toggle an additional package information pane for comparison purposes. And it would be excellent if it were possible implement some kind of bookmarking function that would enable users to save a list of flagged packages.

It's great as is though and deserves more recognition imo. Look forward to following this project!

Looks like you have 2 suggestions there

  1. What do you have in mind when you say "toggle an additional package information pane"? If there is more helpful info about a package I would certainly consider adding it.
  2. You are suggesting to have an ability to tag packages in the list + limiting/filtering the list to show only the packages previously tagged, am I correct?

Hi, sorry I'm just now seeing this. 1 - I meant being able to have information about more than one package open at once for comparison purposes. 2 - I was just using pacbro and noticed the tagging option! Did I miss that, or did you just recently implement it? Either way, this is great - thank you!

I added it a few days ago based on your suggestion here.

# 1 would be certainly useful but I need to think of a way to implement it. My original goal was to have the tool work and be useful in 80x25 terminal. 2 package details side by side may work. For synchronized side-by-side view vimdiff would work well in a popup. I have to give it some more thoughts
