Public bug reported: Please add a reload button to update the software cache each time I add a new repository. Well. newer users of Ubuntu may not add a PPA due to security concerns or because they won't know how to, but the older ones would take a backup and risk experimenting with their OS. I don't know why the software center does not reload even though I saw a bug that this was fixed in version 1.1 itself. I use Ubuntu Precise. Why not add a button saying 'reload' or a menu option, 'Update software list'? It would be very helpful if the aim is to make a fully functinal GUI. Why would I go back to the command line after choosing to use the GUI software center?
