These were removed in https://cgit.kde.org/discover.git/commit/?id=c8d5c23de57ca653d4442f8369b72251410e028b We didn't think that it made sense to put "Check for updates" on the settings page. Maybe that should go on the updates page? But then again, perhaps it should just automatically check for updates when you go to the updates page, in which case a UI button for it isn't needed. We might indeed need to add the "Software Management" thing back in to provide users access to distro-specific software management interfaces that it's not feasible to build into Discover, but we've gotta think of a better name; "Software Management" doesn't give a clue about what it's going to do (all of Discover is "software management!")

Maybe that should go on the updates page? I suggest a clickable refresh icon as part of the "Updates available"/"No updates available" button in the sidebar. > But then again, > perhaps it should just automatically check for updates when you go to the > updates page, in which case a UI button for it isn't needed. It does. It might be possible that the check failed or a recheck is necessary for other reasons though. > We might indeed need to add the "Software Management" thing back in to > provide users access to distro-specific software management interfaces that > it's not feasible to build into Discover, but we've gotta think of a better > name; "Software Management" doesn't give a clue about what it's going to do > (all of Discover is "software management!") My mistake, it's actually "Software Repositories". Name, icon and action are extracted from the .desktop file referenced in the source. Ok, let's break this out into two new bugs: - One to track restoring the Software Management/Software Repositories button - One to track putting a "Check for updates" button somewhere appropriate (not on the settings page) I'll use this to track the first one. Can you file another bug for the "Check for updates" issue? Fixed as of 535575f3e97c8dedff614654a8fe250beaa5e089 I'm still not seeing this fixed on KDE Neon as of that commit. Fabian, is it fixed for you on openSUSE? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > I'm still not seeing this fixed on KDE Neon as of that commit. Fabian, is it > fixed for you on openSUSE? Yes, it works fine here. "Check for updates" is back in the action bar and "Software repositories" is part of the source configuration. |
