Building on the select ui for selecting categories I think it would be appropriate to have additional categories for 'updates', 'disabled', etc. and allow opening the ui to a specific selection. If notification of updates is added back it would then be possible to open the ui and show all extensions and themes - or any other add-on that can in the future be updated - that have updates available.

If notification of updates is added back it would then be possible to open the ui and show all extensions and themes - or any other add-on that can in the future be updated - that have updates available. When the ui is opened for an install the only items shown would be the items being installed. This would solve the problem of where an item should be in the list as well as there being the original item and the new item being shown simultaneously during an install / upgrade. | ||
There could also be an option of 'For All Addons: Update All' similar to the commands listed after 'For All Extensions: Find Updates'. With this type of an approach it should be possible to either provide user defined categories or for an extension to do so (I prefer having an extension provide this) where items can be added to a view no matter what their type is. Since only specific actions are available for each type of item it should be possible to display different types of items in the same view as well. This would allow 'For All Addons: Find Updates', etc. | |||
