https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450321 Summary: Don't abbreviate repository URLs unless necessary Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer Created an attachment (id=256801) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=256801) Screenshot showing YaST abbreviating an URL even though there is plenty of space to display the whole URL When the Software Management component starts up, it pops up a "Starting the Package Manager" dialog and refreshes the repository data. The first progress bar shows the progress of the repository file downloads. The text above this progress bar is the URL of the file being downloaded. However, the URLs are abbreviated -- only the domain name and the terminal directory and filename are displayed. (See screenshot.) Please do not abbreviate these URLs unless there is not enough space to display them in full. If the download gets stuck on a particular file, I want to know which repository it is. The abbreviated URL doesn't usually give me enough information to figure this out. -- 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.
