Close update-manager automatically after updates have been applied

[Jendrik Seipp]

In my opinion it would be a usability improvement if the update manager would close automatically after updates have been installed. After a successful update there is no useful information in the window, but the user has to navigate back to the application and has to manually close it. Instead, the update manager should only stay open if errors occur during installation that the user has to be informed about.

Previously there was a "Close when finished" checkbox in the update-dialog. Defaulting to closing the window is a better solution than bringing the checkbox back, in my opinion.

I would rather a checkbox as I like to know that the updates finished.

I agree that a checkbox would be useful, saying "Close dialog when update completes", or some variation on a theme. It also has to take into consideration the need for a reboot after some updates and in that case, refrain from closing.
