Hi, I have been using OT for a few days, one thing i have noticed that, when i wanted to uninstall a few packages (all of xfce-*) zypper listed all of the package with xfce- at the start of their name along with their libraries in one single list. It would be nice if this two things were listed separately, like first all the package i told to remove and then all the package that will also be removed for that action. After that there could be a list off all the packages that will get removed on that run.

(P.S.: This may apply for package installation, but I haven't been able to test that yet.)

That's something the verbose mode does. It explains into what the commandline arguments translate.
