Hello everyone, I'm in love with Wapt! ;)
Thank you for this great software that makes our lives easier!

A few suggestions for improvement:

- In the console, when removing a package from a machine, it would be more practical and logical if a popup asked if the package should be uninstalled (this would save a few clicks).

- In the console: Add the ability to search for which machines are associated with a particular package.

- In the console: Display the publication date of packages on the Wapt repositories.

- In the console: When editing a machine and clicking "cancel," avoid the popup asking if it should be saved.

- In the console: Add the ability to create machine groups for sorting.

- In the console: Add "no package" to the "group" dropdown menu.

- Add the ability to directly associate a package group with a machine using the `wapt-get` command and make it a "required package on the machine."

- Allow users to choose to postpone updates a specified number of times using `waptexit`. For example, on the third postponement, the next Waptexit will not be reportable.

Hello Didier,

We are pleased to learn that you are a WAPT fan ;)
- In the console: Ability to create machine groups for sorting.
This feature is already present in version 1.2.3, which greatly simplifies the view of the positions.

We will try to add your other comments for future versions.

Thank you again

Frédéric

Hello everyone,

I've been using WAPT for two months and manage around 300 machines.

Would it be possible to have a "tasks in progress" page that displays all the tasks currently being processed by the server?

Is it possible to add commands to the right-click context menu on a machine? I would also like to have a "reboot" option

. Sincerely.
