What else would you want to see?
Does the Preference setting (in the installer) of:

         When listing a package, show:
          ( )   File names only
          (x)   File names and other information

Give you want you want?

(I'm not being argumentative here, I just wondered if you knew about that  
preference, and if that preference gives you the kind of added information  
that you'd be interested in seeing).
