To clarify, does this refer to installation of apps that aren't already present in the "Updates" tab? Because we already show progress for updates right now.

Consolidated a few issues here since they were all related. For the record, this issue is that currently-installing apps should appear in the list of apps on the "Installed" (formerly known as "Updates") tab since they are in the process of being installed. This mitigates the need for a separate "installation queue" UI as it puts them where it makes sense in the current design of the app.

From #624:

In the current system, when a new app is downloaded, its progress is visible only in the app's page. This makes it harder to manage multiple new app downloads. So it could be better if the downloads of all new apps (apps that are not installed) are shown in one single place for users to manage or keep track of. A trivial solution would be to show all the newly installing apps in the "Updates" tab.

From #387:

Can you guys add an installation queue where it says "Hey, these apps are installing" instead of having to click around to find the status of each app.

I don't see why these shouldn't be listed in the updates section, it's a similar process. Most of the logic should already be there.

Actually I feel like "causality is reversed" so to speak. The "Updates" tab is in reality an "Installed" tabs that also have buttons to update software. I feel like it would be more intuitive to rename the tab than to put a third tab that does the same thing as the second, but was named differently in the first place.

@SolarLiner You have seen the latest updates regarding the AppCenter?

• Change "Updates" to "Installed" #548

Since AppCenter has been redesigned a bit, maybe it'll make more sense to show one more separate screen for that? It'll only appear when there are apps that are currently being downloaded or updated.
