Feature request: add 'real' description
« on: July 10, 2008, 09:10 AM »
DcUpdater's Description column currently displays more like a name than a description. Especially for the packages available for installation a short description, probably displayed in the yellowish window currently used for the advanced controls on selection of a package, would be very useful. Currently one has to visit a package's website to find out what it does (depending on how descriptive its name is).

Well, I guess it's quite an obvious request and might have been asked for before. Sorry if it has and I didn't see it.
