If you select a package which requires other packages, the necessary packages are automatically selected, too. A note in the lower area informs you if this is the case.

A filter function is available below the package list. In case of a longer list of update, this provides you the possibility to limit the number of the packages listed. Just enter a word or a partword, which is included in the package names you want to select, into the filter entry field. After that, only those packages are displayed which contain the respective word or partword. You can also enter several words or partwords separated by a space. Then all those packages are displayed which contain the respective words/partwords; the words/partwords can be contained in any order and separated by any other characters in the package name.
The entry of wildcards or regular expressions as a filter is not supported.
You can reset the filter to display all packages available by clicking the Delete button right to the filter entry field.
Please note: all checked packages will be installed even though these packages might be hidden by the filter function. The filter function only affects the packages displayed but not their installation.
