Bug ID: 459207
Summary: Discover less usable while fetching updates
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: fw.smi...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When opening discover after not having used it for couple hours or more, it
starts with fetching updates. Because I have quite a few repositories enabled
this takes a while. While it's fetching updates, discover is less usable.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open discover
OBSERVED RESULT
The install buttons of non-flatpak applications say "Loading". You cannot click
them yet. When searching for an application the flatpak and non-flatpak
applications are not always grouped correctly.
EXPECTED RESULT
The experience should not be worse while fetching updates. It should even be
possible to click the install button, even if it waits for the fetching to
finish.
SUGGESTION
A way to avoid this issue is do the update fetching in the background. This way
you don't notice it as a user. Currently discover does search for updates in
the background, but when clicking that icon, it still needs to "fetch updates".
