Description

It'd be nice to have the 'summary' field shown in the list of optional packages. Maybe the list should be a column list view, so we can sort after un/ticked state, name, size, summary.

There is a summary is shown on the top side of the window. Should this ticket be closed, or is this ticket requesting that the summary is moved to the expandable submenu itself, next/below every entry?

Indeed, there's a summary. Did I miss that when filing the ticket or was it added later? Doesn't matter.

It's still a bit awkward, as you have to aim your mouse pointer then look up to the summary beside the logo, then back to aim again and so on. No chance with keyboard-only navigation.
OTOH, there's not much space in the list itself for anything longer than a few words... Maybe reserving two lines of summary text per row would be possible. Dunno.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
