The window comprises various frames. Modify the frame sizes by clicking
and moving the lines separating the areas. The contents of the frames and
their uses are described below.
The Filter Window
Because selecting the desired package from a list of all available packages is
time-consuming and often difficult, the package manager offers various fil-
ter methods for arranging the packages in categories and limiting the num-
ber of displayed packages. The filter window is located to the left under the
menu bar. It controls and displays various filter methods. The filter selec-
tion box at the top determines what will be displayed in the lower part of
the filter window. Click the filter selection box to select a filter from the list
of available filters.
