This could be included in the view menu as orphans. When you click on this, you should only see orphaned packages listed to be removed.

Would be good idea to let use the list as : pacman -Qdt , just in view , list you see the installed or not installed whatever, new topic Orphan, that showe pacman -Qdt list...

This is something I'm heavily interested in seeing supported so I may have a go at it myself sometime soon when I've got the time. It doesn't sound too difficult to just add an orphaned packages category to view but I'd have to do a little more research to get a feature to uninstall orphans automatically when removing packages.

Would for sure be nice, removing orphans is a key part of maintaining our systems.

Is this still planned to do? I recently switched from Pamac to Octopi but this is probably the only feature I really miss and it really sounds like it's easy to implement (though what would I know, lol).
