While there is an icon at the bottom of the window that looks like a circle with a line through it, it doesn't look related to anything in particular. Is it a cancel button? A logo? Hovering over it (my favorite way of figuring out what buttons do, in apps that support it) might have said something, but I was reluctant to fiddle with it for fear of accidentally interrupting a system update, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Where possible, I try to add ETA calculations to my programs, so I know if I have time to go for a coffee, or time to sleep overnight. In this case, it would be "time left until the user has to click something". This is a request better for kde/plasma upstream, not much we (fedora downstream) can (or should) do about it ourselves. That said, there is feedback, it's just as obvious as it could be. Examples: When installing an individual application, the "Install" button changes to "Installing..." with progress bar Similar for removing individual applications When installing updates, in your screenshot there's a progress in the lower left: "Tasks (0%)" |
Created attachment 1850154 [details] Screenshot of app after clicking 'install' and waiting a while. Description of problem: It's not obvious when updates are being installed; after clicking, the display appears frozen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.23.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait for big batch of OS updates to be created 2. Select them 3. Click install Actual results: The 'install' button goes away, and the program just sits there doing... nothing? something? Can't tell. Expected results: A progress bar, or busy icon, or some clue that work is happening, otherwise the user might conclude that the program has hung, and may terminate it. Additional info: Screenshot attached of app after clicking 'install' and waiting a while.
