Bug Description

I'm using the new sync tool to reinstall all my software on my computer after formatting. I have maybe 20 to 30 softwares to reinstall.

The tool is giving me the list, it's really a nice feature. However, it can be improved, as currently:
-I click on the first item, it starts installing
-I click on another software, it starts installing
-but as soon as a software is installed, it refreshs the list, and I have to wait until it appears again to try to click on the next software before the next installation is finished

It would be better if the screen was not refreshing, or if we could tick all the softwares to reinstall, then run the install.

It's not a bug, just a suggestion for an improvement.
