This does not really benefit an admin out there wanting to install/de-install as the most likely resulting search is both incredibly long and full of beta/test/debug output on etc. These may assist software development in .DE but certainly not an average user. I suggest the following defaults under options by undertaken Show devel Packages = OFF Show debug info/debugsource = OFF System Verification Mode = ON Cleanup When Deleting Packages = ON Allow Vendor Change = ON I dont think the current default helps anyone make a clear decision - I think is presents a misleading and most times,a very long list that is mostly not desirable for the user - By all means keep the function keys currently used for the current two Options The other issue here is the 'Search Packages on Web' Currently I dont think it works what-so-ever and I would suggest it be hidden until such times as it does - Its a dreadful option to NOT have working and as such very confusing. Hide it rather than remove it until it does something beneficial please Your ball! I think this enhancement speaks for itself rather than I add chapter and verse! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change of current Yast/Software/Software Management current defaults for absolutely realistic reasons and usability 2. 3. Expected Results: This should be a very very easy fix that has huge benefit for little development benefit cost/manhours to change - Please assign as a matter of urgancy as its so easy to do with huge benifits -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
