Description Johan Compagner CLA 2013-04-25 09:08:21 EDT
When i do check for updates and i get a bunch of updates of various stuff
i then install everything at once.

That is sometimes a big mistake, because if 1 of those updates is really resulting in something wrong, then it is very hard to revert.

I can say revert in the installation dialog, but if 1 of the updates doesn't support reverting (they don't have an older version, just the latest)
then i can't revert at all. So i am kind of stuck.

Because what i also can't do is go to the install dialog, select the url of the plugin/feature that is installed and select the previous version.
This will result in "can't install, newer version already installed" yes i know i want to revert to the one i selected.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
