Yast software management does not remember autocheck configuration
Last modified: 2007-08-30 18:05:24 UTC
The Yast software management does not remember the state of the autocheck checkbox. Every time software management is started the checkbox starts unchecked. Solution: respect the state of the autocheck checkbox.
AFAIK this is a known feature, so this would be an Enhancement.

I don't agree with this duplicate decision. #58579 is about layout settings and possible implementation. My bug is about the provided autocheck setting for the software updates. Also combining is dangerous because it loses focus of the submitted problems. Bug #58579 is turning to a different bug: session settings has no solid solution. It is no solution to pile these bugs just duplicates on session settings to be resolved later. Bugs related to layout problems, layout enhancements, software management should follow different priorities. This is now lost.
Not an enhancement but a bug. Software management settings should not get lost every time the management application is restarted. To much valuable business time is lost and it is dangerous for the managment of the system. Software management settings are part of system settings nowdays.

"That dicision is not yours to make" is in the least not very helpfull nor does it no goed to the open process to make SuSE better. Thank you.
Reopening - this is *not* a duplicate of #58579. Please also note that the default state of the Autocheck option changes from release to release (in openSOSE 10.3 Beta 2 it is on by default) which makes it even more uncomfortable for the user as it changes behaviour of the application quite essentially.

Stefan, now we have even collegues from Novell conflicting with you. What is your problem in this matter? The only persons here who add some usefull comments to this case you try to shutdown by dictatorship. Again: be helpfull and give comment. We try to help. If you don't appreciate this is not the right job for you.
Users can fail to see that settings are settings are settings, regardless if they are the current window postion and window size or the initial value of a check box like this. While it's not really that hard to see this abstraction, those who don't might at least respect the professional judgement of those who do. And as for colleagues from Novell: Yes, every once and a while we do have new colleagues. Much of the training they are to receive is on-the-job. This is what you can observe here. And please be aware that there is a limit to the level of personal attacks we put up with. Thank you.
Stefan, thank you for the enlightenment. Sometimes it can be hard to see what is more important for a bug situation. Certainly if caused results can be interpreted as more important for the sub-level bug situation then the top-level bug. I hope your answer will find its way to other users as well. As for the personal attack, I was not aware any comment reached so far in this report.

I see your point, yet there is always certain point where different people consider things belonging into one/several categories.
