[bt-devel] Bookshelf Wizard 2

[Martin Gruner]

Hello Gary,

excellent, thank you so much!

A few questions / remarks:
- Is there a possibility to update the default list of libraries (to add any possibly new entries locally), or does it only happen on first start?
- After selecting only one language the grouping is correctly set to »Category«, but if I go back and select another language it stays the same (no language grouping). Is that intended?
- On the »There are no works to update« I still see the grouping switch.

Best regards, Martin

>> Ok.
>>> - In the Progress Dialog, it would be more user friendly to not just show the module name (can be cryptic), but also the longer description like »Estonian Bible (Est)«.
>> Ok.
>>> - We could have more graceful feedback to the user if there are no languages for a source that modules can be installed from, no modules to be updated or no modules to be uninstalled. Currently it just shows an empty list without any comment.
>> Ok.
>>> 
>>> This time I believe the implied changes would not cause so much work. You can already remove the old bookshelf manager IMHO.
>> Ok.
