[Bug 1689767] [NEW] [wishlist] Package updates require too many clicks

[Lari Natri]

Public bug reported:

This is really a wishlist item, not a grave bug. Hopefully this is the
right place for reporting it.

Currently upgrading packages from the Kubuntu desktop is too long a
process, requiring, in my opinion, too many clicks in different and
unintuitive places.

The current process goes as follows. The "upgraded packages available"
icon appears on the system tray. Clicking it opens the plasmoid, which
has the button labeled "Update" on it. One might think that clicking it
would start the upgrade, but it only starts the application Discovery,
which is started but remains minimized on the task bar. After clicking
the task bar entry, the application opens and on its window one can find
"Update all" button, which opens the authentication dialog. After
providing credentials, the upgrade is finally started.

Perhaps the click course could be shortened. Minimal version would be
that the upgrade would be started by just clicking the system tray entry
once, which would immediately start the upgrade in Discovery and the
authentication dialog would appear.
