This is fine as well, what is important is to have all cases treated during
the wizard process since we should not expect the users to look later at
installed extensions. I fully understand that you have postpone that to
4.3, I am surprise Thomas has not mentioned this when I talked with him
earlier.
Thanks,

Hi Denis,

Do not really understand why multi words in uppercase is an issue, and it
is for sure a less important issue than having a misleading solution.
Having tooltips is nice, but we should not rely on it IMO.
Hi guys,
I was just reading the release notes about the latest 4.2 release, and I
would like to share my thoughts about the new experimental upgrade
wizard:
1) During the first step, I found the labels of the button "Skip" and
"Cancel" to be potentially misleading. I quickly make the analogy with a
typical application upgrade wizard on my Mac, which say "Skip this
version"
or "Remind me later". But this is
exactly the contrary, "Skip" here means
"Remind me later", and "Cancel" means "Skip this version".
So I propose
to
use more explicit labels, either those proposed
above or any other that
avoid the confusion.
I agree that these two buttons can be misleading, that's why I added a
hint message in the first (welcome) step and also tool tips (on mouse
hover) but I guess they can be easily overlooked. I'm open to change
their labels. One of the reasons I didn't use a multi word label is
because it doesn't look good in upper case, and that's the style we
use on buttons..
Caty had a few ideas on how to replace these two
buttons with
something more intuitive but I wasn't fully convinced :) I'm sure
she's eager to show them to you.
I agree without, I am not really convinced either, but I would still prefer
the checkbox proposal from Cathy to the current situation.
2) During the second step, the extensions that are incompatible but do
not
have a potential update seems to not be listed.
Once again, this could be
misleading, since you naturally expect the wizard to have proposed the
whole solution for your upgrade. I think that the wizard should also tell
you which extension has been disabled for incompatibilities during this
step.
Me and Thomas talked about putting this in a separate step, the "clean
up" step, where the user can view and uninstall extensions that are no
longer supported (are invalid and don't have upgrades available). We
decided to leave this steps for later since the 4.2 release was
already delayed.
WDYT ?
Thanks for your feedback,
Marius
