'Install' flag does not work with multiple selections. #20
Comments
This is the normal behavior. The difference between per-package and selection-wide actions is shown in the user guide at https://github.com/cfillion/reapack/wiki#actions. Do you have an idea for a better labeling? |
Is there any reason why there's a way to install 1 package when multiple are selected? It seems to me that the menu-items should correlate to what is selected, single or multi-selection. Am I perhaps missing some functionality here that would make that sub-optimal? |
It adds flexibility and speed (especially when right-clicking). The per-package actions show details and options (eg. pick-which-version and show documentation) on the selected package under the mouse cursor that would otherwise not be available without first discarding the selection (and possibly redoing it afterward, which I find annoying). |
The best suggestion I have is some better indication that then second 'install' menu option is for the item under the cursor. Perhaps something such as "Install only v1.1" would better indicate that a single package is being acted upon. |
and never in the Actions button's menu (related to issue #20)
Excellent solution. Thank you. |
Select multiple packages in the browser, then select 'actions->install' (above versions) to flag them for installation.
Only the first item in the selection is flagged.
'Install/update selection' does work, however the menu labelling is confusing.
