In the package view, present rows for package and not for files as major
Description
When I look at packages, I would expect to see a list of packages only (and possibly some way to drill down by files). Instead we have a list of files with aggregated package data. This possibly confusing when there are more than one package at a given directory of file level
Hey! I just came across this project and found quite interesting! Can you elaborate this issue? I would love to contribute to this project😁
The gist of this feature request is to have some sort of view that only displays packages data after importing a scan.
This info is in the sqlite file after scan importing, so the majority of the work here would be to create a view for only this package data.
@majurg I would like to create the view for the packages data. Can I get assigned to implement this enhancement?
@pombredanne @majurg isn't this feature already present in the application
After importing the json, I can see the parent package and also drill down to other packages and files present in the imported package
@pranav1698 The feature to display package data has always been there. What is missing is a view that shows ONLY package data, instead of just displaying package data next to non-package items, like random source files etc.
Closing, as we already have Package Explorer section in workbench v4.x Ref - https://scancode-workbench.readthedocs.io/en/develop/ui-reference/package-explorer.html#package-explorer
