With your method non-installed packages wouldn't show up as "new" packages. For example if a completely new package is added to the main repository, you cannot see it as new, which is not optimal in my opinion.Beside if a new update is available a bold NEW text appears in the update column(see attachment).<br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
