## Main Window

The main window shows a list of the packages available. You can filter the list by selecting a category from the drop down on the toolbar or clicking on Find and searching for text in the package names and descriptions.

The left hand column is either:

- blank if the package is not installed
- a green tick if the package is installed
- an orangish tick if the package is installed and there is an upgrade available.

The ticks have a small "a" by them if the package was automatically installed.

This is followed by the package name and a summary of what it does.

Clicking on a package will show more information about it in the status bar at the bottom of the Window. The small triangle on the right of the status bar allows it to be shrunk (and expanded afterwards) to allow more packages to be shown in the main view.

To install or remove a package after selecting it click on the Install or Remove button on the toolbar (the first two buttons respectively) or the menu.

You will be prompted with the Install Window or Remove Window to confirm you are sure you wish to install or remove the package before the installation/removal proceeds.

Once a package has been installed or removed the main window will be updated to show it's new status

Using the Menu button on the main window shows a menu with the following options

- App "app_name" or Selection. This is a submenu that allows you to install, remove and view details on the selected package(s). For details see the Application Menu.
- Upgrade All - Leads to the Upgrade All dialogue that lists the packages that will be upgraded and lets you upgrade them all in one go. If no upgrades are available this option will be faded. If there are no upgrades available you may want to run the Update Lists option from the icon bar to see if any new upgrades have appeared since the last time you updated the lists.
- Update Lists - This downloads the latest versions of the package lists that are used to provide the list of packages that are available. It shows a window to indicate the progress of the List update. This Window also contains an "Upgrade All" button that is enabled after the download of the lists if there are any upgrades available.
- Search - This leads to the search dialog.
- Help - This launches the Help file to show help on PackMan.
