Simplify installation of updates #131

Open Woi opened 8 years ago

Hey Tim,

I just updated yumex-dnf 4.1.6 from Fedora 23 updates repository to yumex-dnf 4.3.3 from your copr repository.

Introducing yumex-dnf-updatechecker seems like a big step towards a lean and simple design. Removing the tray icon is also a good thing, if there is no user interaction is required.

However, from an user perspective updating is now more complicated compared to yumex-dnf 4.1.x for two reasons: First it's not possible any more to just install updates without bringing up yumex-dnf. Second there is no way to quickly see if updates are pending, but a 10 second notification every hour or so. So most of the time, it's unclear either one has just missed this notification or if all updates have been applied.

To my mind it would be a great improvement for users to have the tray icon back in cases of pending updates, as well as to have a way to just install all pending updates with as less interaction as possible.

Thanks for yumex and all your effort :) Woi

Sorry for the long delay, but yumex development is started again after a long break. in Fedora 34, the updatechecker notification will be stored notification queue. but I think the user experiance can be improved, think the status icon is deprecated, so this it not the way to go.
