Description Rahul Sundaram 2008-03-30 16:06:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

There is no sorted listing of all packages without going through different
groups unlike Pirut which has this functionality in the third tab.

Additional info:

I use this to figure out which packages to remove after I have tried out several
just as an example of where this could be useful.
Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2008-03-31 11:32:20 UTC 
So, you basically want a "Show all packages" button? Where would this logically
go in the UI?
Comment 2 Rahul Sundaram 2008-03-31 11:57:25 UTC 
Yep. Well in Pirut it shows up in a additional tab. Somewhat similar to the UI
of pk-application before 1.10.
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2008-03-31 12:54:23 UTC 
What about in the group selector as "All"?
Comment 4 Rahul Sundaram 2008-03-31 13:04:34 UTC 
That would work as well.
Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2008-04-11 15:12:46 UTC 
I've added the GetPackages method into the backends.

This is what git looks like. This is a 0.2.x feature (because of the new API),
and so won't go into F9 for a little while. You can test it if you use my git
RPMs tho.
Comment 7 Rahul Sundaram 2008-04-12 13:23:12 UTC 
I think this serves my purpose pretty well. Firefox like search as you type
would be a very good enhancement.
Comment 8 Richard Hughes 2008-04-12 13:56:15 UTC 
We can't do search as you type, as that would be a bazillion available packages
to add, cache and then search as you type. What about search-as-you-type for
previous queries?
Comment 9 Rahul Sundaram 2008-04-12 14:05:59 UTC 
Search is probably the most common operation that is going to happen with the
app and shouldn't be relegated to just a search box. If we can cache more
upfront, that might help. 

Search as you type for previous queries would be a improvement too.
Comment 10 Richard Hughes 2008-04-21 17:15:49 UTC 
I'll close this as the original bug has been fixed. Bringing up search-as-you
type on the mailing list is probably the best plan.
