Description Cornelius Schumacher 2006-11-15 14:56:07 UTC

The popups showing progress about package management actions often popup and immediately go away. When e.g. adding another update source in the installation workflow there is a popup which continously flickers between 0% and 100%. This doesn't help and gives the user a bad impression.

It would be much better to have a continous progress indicator that shows the overall progress of the complete action, not individual progress for tiny subjobs.

Yast just uses callback functions provided by libzypp.

The callbacks do not provide total progress, yast doesn't know in advance how many files will be downloaded. Libzypp should provide more information.

Duncan, this one seems to be a duplicate IIRC...
