Well, the CC lost all its "User Friendlienes" after the premium was removed, sure no update all button, im fine with that. But to always have to go to the right click menu in order to update gets kinda annoying pretty fast. Miss being able to klick on an addon and then a "Udate" button.
As for the resizing of the colums its acting really wierd, if i try to drag em to resize they move nicely, but when dropped resize kinda randomly, in my case the name one became so wide the others were pushed of screen, not even a reinstall fixed it (thank god i just bought a new comp with a brand new HDD)...
I don't know if this happens only to me or this is normal
scanning addon takes very long time to complete, 3-4mins.
some addons cannot be updated. always stop after retrieving.
I don't know if it takes 3-4 minutes but it is quite on my computer. It's always at least a minute but I have taken the habit of letting it run without waiting so I'm not sure. Compare to this, WoWInterface takes only 10-15 seconds.
The other thing that takes a very long time on my PC are the extractions when installing or updating. The extraction progress bar "freeze" midway for 20-30 seconds. When the freeze happen, pretty much everything else on the pc is frozen. This makes updating multiple addons a real pain.

At least you can go over retrieving bar and move on to extract bar. At my side, the retrieving also freeze midway.
After all this messing and time consuming, it did not actually do anything but with this log saying Finish:#addon(s) reinstalled:1
Concerning the "Update" button. I have noticed that when the client loads for the first time, scans for addons and detects something to be updated, the "Update" button will not always...err..update properly :p This basically means that in its place you will be getting the "Reinstall" button until you manually deselect the addon entry from the menu and re-select it. At that point, Reinstall becomes Update again. Seems to be a refresh issue.
Yeah, that's what I've seen. The Reinstall / Update buttons appear to do the same thing, but it isn't swapping the label correctly. What might be related is that when I open it up, it has the addon at the top selected by default, with a light blue highlight, and its details at the bottom. When it finds an addon to be updated, it goes to the top, gets the light blue highlight, but the other one is still in the details box. I have to click a different addon then go back to the top one to see its details.
Might as well toss in some other bugs / features I've noticed while I'm typing. =D
Would be really nice for the "Open Change Log" link to open the *new* changelog, not the currently installed changelog.
Would like to see a difference between modified addons that have been updated since install, and those that haven't. Right now I have to look at the dates carefully to see if I need to grab an update then re-apply my changes. E.g., tekKompare's official "configuration" to disable display of links from hovering the chatbox is to delete a .lua file, thus it's been modified.
When I want to install an older version of an addon from the website, clicking the "install via curse client" installs the latest instead of the version I'm looking at. Have to do a manual install. Having the "install via curse client" button on those pages is rather misleading, unless the client can install the specified version.
When there are customizations, it should do a source merge rather than just overriding it. The code's already been written for you in svn merge after all. =D Oh, and I want it to automatically fix all bugs in every addon, install an iwin button, and give me a pony.
One thing I found out that, the client not only scan the specific folder that I've defined in the game options. It did actually scan outside that folder and maybe that's why it take so long time to complete the scanning.
Nope, CC is always running before I start WoW for the first time after rebooting my PC.
If you are running it right after the bootup finishes, that could cause slowness. Windows spends a good deal of time after you can see the desktop and use programs caching programs and data, as well as staggered startup of services.
Also the current scanner in the client can complicate that. While it is a low priority thread it can eat up a good bit of resources.
In the 4.0 client we're redesigning the scanner to include a cache. This will drastically cut down on the resources it uses. :)
Are you saying that the CC's scanner takes advantages of Vista's low-priority I/O, or that the thread runs below "normal" CPU priority (or both)? Just curious :)

There is no difference whether I use CC right after the boot up is finish or 15 minutes later. If I run CC then exit then run it again, the scanning is a lot faster and this may have something to do with the file system caching NTFS information.
The extraction part of the install is always long and always freeze the system midway during the extraction. If I install/update 5 packages, I'll get 5 freezes.

The singular Update button should still be there and usable without problem.
Seems i got the new version now and the update button showed up, dun dare touch the resize :p

Maybe you don't have any addons outdated. if so, it only show the reinstall button.
BTW, to the development team, I feel quite annoyed that the log doesn't allow any copy and paste. Is this on purpose also?
And no it's not intentional that it doesn't copy paste. :(

And this is not a good approach for an updater.
