Issue ID: 126631 Issue Type: DEFECT Summary: Check for Updates Summary is Misleading Product: Installation Version: 4.1.1 Hardware: All OS: Windows 10 Status: CONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: ui Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org Reporter: orc...@apache.org Created attachment 85110 --> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=85110&action=edit 4.1.1 Update Available dialog after Help | Check for Updates Issue 119323 is somewhat related to this issue. (This may apply to 4.1.2, but it won't appear until there is a later distribution.) There are a number of problems with this report concerning its usability, at least on Windows. The "Note: Before downloading ... " about privileges should have a link to a web page that explains what this is about for casual users. There is a question about how does one check that, too. The Description line "The automatic download of the update is currently not available." is not useful. Has there ever been such a provision for Apache OpenOffice? This line should simply go. Mentioning a non-existent feature is not giving the user anything that is actionable for them. (Does the Tools | Options > OpenOffice > Online Update checkbox for "Download updates automatically" actually function? [needs separate issue]) The Install button is presumably always greyed out. The button should go. After "Click 'Download ..." to download [Apache] OpenOffice 4.1.2 manually from the web site." there might need to be a link for more information about how to do that and how to manually install the software. The embedded Help for the "Check for Updates" dialog and the linked help from that to "Starting online updates" need work (in addition to there being a Java-required pitfall trap). This might need a meta-report of tasks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
