the plasmoid show different icons if there are update (blue point) or security updates (red point) available. discover didn't show which is a security update and which not. as the notification widget had this information it would be nice to give the user in discover updater also this information.
Are you sure this is the case? Because it should be showing the right icon (see QString DiscoverNotifier::iconName() const) What makes you think it's not done properly?
the plasmoid did show the right icon but I miss the security information in the discover updater. which packages need an security issues update?
How does that make a difference? Will you choose not to update depending on which packages need update?
This is especially interesting for users of rolling releases. Sometimes I delay applying updates for several months (instead of updating nearly daily) to minize wear-out SSD drive, but should apply security updates as soon as they are available.
@Christoph, so the plasmoid does show a different icon, andreas's complaint is that once you open Discover on update mode, you don't get to see which one it is.

This is marked as fixed but I still can't tell which are the security updates
Indeed. However I think what Aleix was saying is that this isn't something we want to do. The System Tray Notifier's only UI is a tooltip; we can't put information on every package in there; it would get absurdly large.
Indeed. But I think the expectation -- certainly mine, but also what I read in the Description -- is to show which updates are security updates in Discover, not in the notifier. Instead of marking each update accordingly, IIUC Aleix changed the whole page icon for updates to match that in the notifier. That does not add information.
Ah, ok.
