Hi Brian,
Works just as well as before and looks nicer with the progress bar. :)

-View Details window now displays package info in a table and also has a

I think it's OK, but as discussed for the first incarnation, having a
modal window for the details isn't that nice. Now with a second
"Update now" button, you'd think you save us a click or two to close
the details window and start updating. But weirdly, I find it even
more 'confusing' to have a second "Update now" button while the first
one isn't clickable any more...
Adding the column list view directly to the main window if there are
updates available seems to be a much better solution. No need even to
optionally hide it with an "expando" widget á la Installer or GetInfo.
Oh, and it's "Package name" instead "Package Name" in the column heading. :)
The columns aren't resizable. Not sure it's necessary, but it's unexpected...
Regards,
Humdinger
