The software center according to the plans is being rewritten in Q2. And we're currently in the middle of it. So let's just jump into it.
- Get rid of the search tab. Instead, put a search functionality in the Home and Installed Tab. Also, you should be able to search within a category in the Home tab if this feature is implemented. Also, you can choose to see software, dependencies, theme. It's excruciating to go the installed tab, and only see a bunch of dependencies cluttering it.
- Enable us to install and uninstall package without having to enter the package's page. With this, install/uninstalling a package only require one click. Currently, it requires 3 (including the fact that you need to get out of the package's page) and a lot of cursor travel. If I know what I'm installing, I shouldn't have to go to the package's page to click install.
- Enable us to select multiple package by pressing ctrl and choose to install or uninstall packages that have been selected with the headerbar button
- Installed tab won't have a download button in the headerbar or indicators that the package is installed for obvious reason
For whom who may concerns, I use Inkscape in making these mock-ups.
