** Description changed: Binary package hint: kpackagekit The package names should be short, or at least should have an option. The user doesn't need to know that they are trying to download "firefox - 3.0.12 + build1 + nobinonly + 0ubuntu2 (all)" This is confusing and messy. Selecting a file to download needs work, the download arrow is light blue and the highlighted line is a slightly darker shade. On top of this, the light blue doesn't stand out very well from the grey. Maybe it should be a different colour, such as green. The downloading dialog is a mess. It shouldn't resize continuously, it should probably grow to fit the largest item but not shrink back afterwards. When downloading a lot of files the dialog jumps all over the place, making it impossible to click on hide or cancel without either clicking nothing or the wrong button all together. KPackageKit should not automatically exit when it has finished downloading and installing. If the user leaves the computer to go and do something else (make a coffee) and then returns to see that KPackageKit has vanished, the user might assume that the application just crashed without displaying an error. Also whilst downloading they might remember that they wanted to download something else and this means that they have to load it up all over again. The update manager should display files in alphabetical order. + + Update : + + The update manager appeared to crash when I elected to download the + updated packages.
