Firstly, lovely app. Handy to see all the packages and be able to quickly backup things for those that aren't a fan of Synaptic, or want something simpler.
Secondly, I am curious if it's at all possible to make it so when viewing the packages that are installed you can sort by total file size. When click on 'Size', it merely sorts the sizes in numerical order, not by total size, as well as excluding the difference between kB and MB.
Anyway, I was just curious. Thanks again for the app!
