This would be easy enough to do by implementing the tableViewSelectionDidChange: delegate method.

[snip] I don't think I'll be doing this one any time soon. Too much work for too little return compared to the other changes I have in mind. But as I've said before, other developers are welcome to join in. : ) > One thing that might also be nice is to display the dependencies of a > package. (Again, not by default...

I would like this a lot, and it will be easy if and when the Objective-C perl bridge becomes available. At the moment, it would require a call to the resolve_depends method for PkgVersion objects from a custom perl script. I use a custom script now to gather most of the information from the table, but it's kind of a pain for various reasons, and I will probably eliminate it now that fink list offers the -t option. So I'll probably hold off until the bridge it ready. Thanks, again. I hope you're enjoying FinkCommander. _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
