Install/Uninstalling of Add-On Packages - UI Issues

Details

First, where is the name of the Add-On Package listed anywhere on those pages?

Second, why does it take a click, a confirm submit, selecting of one to three radio boxes, and then another click to install or uninstall a module?  That is a truly annoying amount of UI work to do a relatively simple thing.

Third, the “Status” table column with the radio buttons seems to indicate the current status and not what I may very well want to do.  I am uninstalling, would be nice if those options were automatically selected.  I already know the “Current Status”.

Fourth, lang.addons.php seems to be missing a ‘fieldtype’ language variable, so if my package has a Fieldtype, the variable is not translated.  <—Only real bug, I suppose.

I second this emotion.

I agree.

Also I haven’t come across a case when someone would need to only install one part of an addon. Usually all the pieces work together. I wonder if this will add more support overhead?
