Very cool.
Ditch the OK button though. Make it a normal non-textured window with  
the textview stretched to the very bottom.
I tried it out with a HUD view instead and it looked pretty good,  
kindof like quickview.
I'd really prefer to be able to access the main window while the more  
info thing is still open though.
And then either close the more-info window when you select a different  
bundle, or replace the contents of the more-info window with the extra  
info the the new selection. Whichever would technically work.

This is getting much awesomer by the second!
