Lite Control Center - Suggestions welcomed

[shaggytwodope]

I reported this before.  It seems it is still occurring.  I have Chromium as my default browser.  I did use the Lite Tweak tool to set it as such.  But only the Help link at the bottom of the My Computer tab in the Control Panel opens using Chromium.  All the other links open in Chrome, which I also have installed.

The help icon opens in chromium, as in the one that opens a local copy of the manual?

If that is the case, it sounds like exo-open is being funny... not fully sure we should stick with this method. Will look into alternatives soon.

How it all started...

I notice the Control Center has today's date in green where it says Last Updated.  But I didn't update today.  If there are no updates by tomorrow, I get the feeling it'll have tomorrow's date in green next to Last Updated. 

I'm ok with it.  I can read between the lines.  But it does make it seem, to manual updaters like me, that I took an action today to update, when I did not.

This is exactly why I have been pushing for us to all collaborate in space

Hahaha, I think that managing the Linux Lite Space Program would be a little expensive.

Thanks, I haven't had communication with Jerry in the last few days.

I've been on qTox most of the time, haven't seen you sign in until today

Well, there is a very small time frame when we can meet. One is when I'm about to go to sleep and the other one is when you're about to sleep. 18000 km is a big distance. Still preety amazing that we can Tox from time to time.
Added a button to refresh the application and fixed the live cd issue you found earlier.

Great idea, it is quite a "busy" screen.
So a "New" single icon "Manage Desktop Icons" would launch what you show above.
Looks good to me.

Thanks, I haven't had communication with Jerry in the last few days. Maybe he would preffer using web tehnologies in the frontend that would communicate with stuff in the backend rather than launching a separate application.

That is the way it is working.  Might be more straightforward if it dynamically refreshes instead of refreshing only after closing and reopening the control center.  That's all I'm saying.

Yes, that's the way it works. There is a plan to add a refresh button. It should do some stuff in the backend when receives a call from the frontend.

Ah, O.K, understood,
I have no idea what's involved to make dynamic, at guess though, not a simple tweak.

I think that's how it's supposed to work.

It updates the link, from red to green with the new date, if I close and reopen Linux Lite Control Center.

Hi,

I have just tested here, and it's O.K
Try again, if it fails, check log, in case one of the repos is not responding.??

I ran updates using the Software Updates red link on the My Computer tab.  But after running the updates, the Software Updates link didn't refresh to a green link with today's date.
