I just tried to report the same bug. If you want to install multiple software, the selection task becomes too slow, because each time you select a software its installation begins and the control is lost for few seconds in this action. The oldest way (the one of Ubuntu 8 or earlier), there were two steps, one for selecting packages (by checking boxes) and another one for telling software-center to begin installation (by pressing INSTALL button), was much more better for multiple packages installing.
I dont known why is it so important to begin the installation immediately after each software selection, but I respect that decision because I think that if there were a change there must be a reason for that change too. So it could be something optional, like a "Install later" button, or simply an option in a "preferences->advanced" menu. -- (Un)installing multiple applications with Ubuntu Software Center should be easier https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
