Description Paolo Zamponi 2022-05-01 08:21:30 UTC

SUMMARY
It seems there is no way to know when an update operation is been waiting for an user action.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Perform an update with Discover and then iconify it in the taskbar. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The update process is always been waiting for a confirm, but nothing warned you.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should be warned if the process is been waiting for something, or if something goes wrong (e.g. the icon in the taskbar should flash, or by a notification).

That's quite fair.

Comment 2 Paolo Zamponi 2022-05-04 05:53:13 UTC

Do you think it makes sense to add a "Don't ask me again" checkbox too in the sheet?

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-05-04 17:41:52 UTC

I don't think so. Ideally you would actually read the contents to see if there's anything dangerous in there; that's why we added it. We might as well just delete it instead of adding an "always proceed" option.
