I’ve spent a couple of hours, adding more columns and adding a filter facility so that you can narrow down the results to something useful.


Use cases for this tool:

  • Something in yesterdays automatic update broke firefox. What was updated?
  • Did I update firefox last week?
  • (for backends that support rollback) Take me to the snapshot before I installed XFCE

Comments welcome.

Further feedback appreciated. Does anyone know how to make the text automatically wrap to the next line in the treeview?
