Description Gregor Mi 2020-06-08 13:38:59 UTC
Currently, in the Updates View there are one or two buttons on the top right:

- [ Check for Updates ]                   if there no updates available
- [ Update ] and [ Check for Updates ]    if there are updates available

I am not sure about the KDE HIG, but should the primary action not be on the right side?
With this as resulting layout:

- [ Check for Updates ] and [ Update ]

There isn't really a hard-and-fast rule for this. It's easy enough to change, but is it worth it?

I find myself often clicking on "check for updates" instead of "update" as I expect the relevant action to be the rightmost one, so I would be in favour of this.

Reverse position of Refresh and Update actions in desktop view

People seem to feel that the Update action should be the right-most one
in desktop view. This commit accomplishes that, without changing the
ordering in mobile/narrow view, which would inappropriately cause the
Refresh action to be the center one in the floating action button.
