           Summary: syntax-highlighting download dialog should show which
                    files are updated
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde holovaty com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

Presently, when I click Settings | Configure Kate | Highlighting | "Download...", a "Highlight Download" \
dialog box shows up, listing each syntax-highlighting package available, the current version installed, \
and the latest available version. That's useful information, but it is difficult to see which packages \
have updated versions available without having to at each line one at a time and comparing the \
"Installed" to "Latest" version.

The interface would be improved if upgradable packages were offset somehow -- in bolded text, for \
instance. Or perhaps the packages that already *are* in the latest version should be grayed-out.

Another idea, clearly trickier to implement, is to have an "upgrade all" button, which, when pressed, \
would download and install all the out-of-date and new syntax-highlighting packages. I suspect a full \
upgrade is the most common task related to users' management of these packages, so the interface would \
benefit a great deal from such a feature.
