Bug ID: 399869
Summary: No feedback on the update page when updating backends
Product: Discover
Version: 5.14.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: mayeul.can...@live.fr
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is probably due to slow backends.
As originally stated in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385754#c22
Discover can be slow to display the list of packages that need updates. During
this time, it displays "no updates available", which is a bit misleading, as
can be seen in the aforelinked thread.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Wait for some updates to show up
2. Click on the tray icon -> display updates
3. Wait for a few seconds in front of the "no updates" screen (up to a few
minutes, especially on slow connections) for updates to be displayed
OBSERVED RESULT
Discover is slow to display the list of updates.
The user does not receive any feedback during this time.
EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice to display something like "Discover is compiling the list of
updates" or "Discover is checking for updates", with a spinner.
Best would be to list each backend separately, and display its status: no
updates, checking, X updates, separately.
