[Bug 465531] Re: Wishlist :Change the order of items to install

 

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ Ubuntu Software Center 1.0.2, Ubuntu 9.10
  
- Version 1.0.2.  More of a feature really.  In Ubuntu 9.10, when you have
- selected multiple items to install it would be nice to adjust the order
- of the items.  Drag and drop to reorder was what I tried first,  but a
- "move up" button could work too.  Also, a pause option besides just
- cancel would be nice and could be another way to implement a solution to
- this "bug".  Great work!  Thanks.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Software Center 1.0.2, Ubuntu 9.10

  When you have selected multiple items to install it would be nice to
  adjust the order of the items.  Drag and drop to reorder was what I
  tried first,  but a "move up" button could work too.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#tasks-reordering>: "For any
  task in the “Progress” screen that has not yet begun (or that, if
  parallel downloading has been implemented, has started downloading but
  not yet installing), mousing over the list item should produce a
  grabbing-hand cursor. If you drag the row up or down, the rows for
  other unstarted tasks should scoot out of the way to show where the
  dragged row would end up if dropped. As a keyboard equivalent, Ctrl Up
  and Ctrl Down should, when possible, make the selected task swap
  places with the previous or next task respectively."
