Certain Updates

[NedFlanders2]

A newer version was found, but the install technology is different from the current version installed. Please uninstall the package and install the newer version.

Some updates show up as the following, when trying to update where you update them through their native updater instead. Can we get an option to flag these so that they show up as needing updates but are not actually actionable through Uniget? As in they never get proceed from actions like "Update all" etc, but the user is aware that they need updates.

Just to corroborate somewhat. Currently how it works with these sorts of updates.

• Uniget informs user that there is an update for software/s
• Several software/s may produce that sort of return value where it cannot update due to logistical reasons.
• it leaves the Uniget ui with exponential amount of errors to clear
• The user just updates through the software's native updater to resolve the update.
• The user still has to clear off all those failed notifcations

I think that if we can flag or mark certain installs from actually trying to update then its just nicer workflow for the user. Currently we mark Software/packages so that they are ignored but i think this means that we won't know they need updates? What i am asking is for an option so that they get flagged as not to update but the user is still notified that there is an update available.

Why does this matter? because its annoying to have like several updates fail to this but they beep off their notifications still and then you have to sift through all that mentally while removing all the history/notifications each time.

If this was considered then maybe packages/software marked in this manner needs a visual que so that the user knows visually what these particular marked entry are when they have updates available.

I will see what I can do.

Please note that, when you see this, you can Right-click the package -> Uninstall, then update
