Description Jesse Glick 2000-03-10 04:13:20 UTC
Downloading modules can take from a couple of minutes to an hour or so, depending on your web connection. During this time the Update Center dialog is open and modal, which means that you cannot use
 the IDE to do anything else; you cannot minimize the IDE; you cannot safely start another copy of the IDE even if you have the RAM.

This dialog should turn into a nonmodal, minimizable progress dialog during the download.

Autoupdate wizard is not modal now - since dev build #103
Comment 3 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 13:49:03 UTC
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
