Describe the improvement

The Ignored Updates List needs to show the Current Version # and the Latest Version # also.

Describe how this improvement could help users

How this helps is I have software in which I need to Update "Manually" due to special configurations. So, I don't include these in the Update List, I add them to the Ignore Update List.

However, it would be VERY useful if we could open the Ignore List and SEE what of those Apps ALSO need an Update. This would be very helpful in further tracking our Updates thus Updating our Apps....

Thank you...

Is there any way to get the new version of an update-ignored package? I tried using PEInterface.UpgradablePackagesLoader, but UpgradablePackagesLoader filters out ignored packages before they ever reach the internal list (in UpgradeablePackagesLoader.IsPackageValid). I also tried PEInterface.InstalledPackagesLoader, but InstalledPackagesLoader doesn't seem to actually determine if there are updates to a package.

The only solution I could think of is having a separate list in UpgradeablePackagesLoader for ignored-update packages, which could then be queried in the dialog. To do this, either after IsValid is called and returns false I would check if it's an ignored update package and add it to the other list, but bypassing IsValid doesn't seem like a great strategy. The other thing I thought of was to change the AbstractPackageLoader.IsValid template to optionally (based on a parameter passed to the function) mark ignored-update packages as valid and then manually check in AbstractPackageLoader.ReloadPackages if it's an update-ignored package and sort it accordingly, but this would require changing the IsValid base function for something that doesn't affect all of the package loaders.

Currently not, upgrades that are ignored are discarded. I'd need to do some changes to the PEInterface.UpgradablePackagesLoader

OK, I guess I'll just bypass the IsValid check just for the new version.
