In the package list, filter by "marked" status

In the package list, filter by "marked" status

[R. Diez]

Hi all:

If regularly upgrade my packages like this:

list-packages
package-menu-refresh
package-menu-mark-upgrades
package-menu-execute

Before I execute, is there a way to filter the list so that is shows just the marked packages? I may want to skip some upgrade, or check out the details.

package-menu-execute does say what it is going to upgrade, but it displays the package names in a single text line, and that is not convenient at all.


If such a feature is missing, where is the best place to request it? I am no Lisp guru. O8-)

Thanks in advance,
  rdiez

The paradox package available on Melpa provides this feature. This package
implements many quality-of-life features on top of the inbuilt package.el.
M-x paradox-list-packages launches a buffer similar to M-x
package-list-packages, and all the package.el commands work there too.

See the `f' binding for "filtering" once you install paradox.
