For all: I want to let you know about an almost finished work. If you like tell me which packages should I add to the packages list.

Introduction

The following image shows the QuickStart Wizard as you can find it in txs. I added some marks for later reference:

Even so the tab claims "Class Options" there are other things included (marks 1 to 4). The first two marks show commonly used options (if you don't use LuaLaTeX) for packages but which integrate well into the tabs geometry. This is also true for the babel option/package. But the following line with three options (mark 4) are packages not options. And the first of them (AMS) in fact represents two packages, but which packages is not clear at first (amsmath and amssymb). This line of option doesn't fit well into the geometry and leads to a scrollbar (mark 5) because the "Other Options" widget has not enough space. As a side note: The geometry package has it's own tab.

A new Packages Tab

So the idea was born to have a separate "packages" tab widget having a table of (about 30) useful packages with a small description that can help one figure out if this package could be of interest. The four packages (mark 4) are moved there. Some packages have options that are assumed to be useful and are also shown (and automatically used when creating the document). As before txs stores the package names selected for later use.

The following image shows the new QuickStart dialog right after starting it with the new Packages tab:

Activation of that tab also activates a tool tip for this tab widget:

The List of Packages

The following images show the complete list of packages:

As mentioned in the tool tip you can select packages with check boxes or by selecting lines:

Thus you may even select all packages within a second. When you need line numbers for better orientation you may activate them with the check box at the bottom:

And here's the final document:
