[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1758858, member: 175845"] Here's a recent article that explains things a bit better: [I]Looking again at Apple’s release notes – which record just six improvements other than security fixes, in an update which for most was over 1 GB in size – I was trying to summarise Apple’s original statement that 10.12.5 Enhances compatibility of the Mac App Store with future software updates. I’m still reeling at the almost complete lack of meaning in that line. But I can now announce one thing which it does apparently: [B]Apple has removed progress indicators when downloading and installing App Store updates[/B].[/I] And one comment I sure agree with which I also commented on previously: [I]The App Store app [B]has not been a particularly good example of human interface design[/B][/I] (Sound familiar…???) [url]https://eclecticlight.co/2017/05/18/fetch-a-translator-apple-says-it-has-fixed-the-app-store-app/[/url] It seems that some of us are not alone with the problem, or lack of an old useful feature… - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
