The K Desktop Environment

2.2. The Package Tree Panel

When KPackage is started normally (that is it has not been invoked via drag and drop and has not been given any parameters) it displays two panels with the package tree on the left, this tree shows installed packages and optionally new and updated packages as well.

The tabs on the panel select whether to display installed packages, updated packages, available packages or all packages

The package tree shows the package name, package size, the version and (in the case of an available package which would update an installed package) the version of the already installed package.

Selecting a package from the tree displays information about it in the right panel and allows:

A single package is selected by clicking on the name. Clicking on the dot in the Mark column marks the package with a tick, a second click unmarks it, while Shift+left click can be used to select a range of packages.
