[Bug 694838] Re: Opening multiple debs opens multiple instances of SC

 

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ Ubuntu Software Center 3.0.7, Ubuntu 10.10
+ Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.23.2, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1
  
  Steps to reproduce:
- 1: Select two or more .deb files
- 2: Select to open in SC
+ 1: Select two or more .deb files in Nautilus.
+ 2: Choose "File" > "Open in Ubuntu Software Center".
  
- Multiple instances of SC open for each deb file.
+ What happens: Multiple instances of USC open, one for each deb file.
  
- If we try the same by selecting one .deb file at a time, it opens the
- latest .deb selected within the same instance of SC.
- 
- we should probably queue multiple deb files instead of switching to last
- selected one too(probably a separate bug?)
