Description
Updating contributions that require a reboot from the updates tab makes it look like the update silently failed (especially when successful update just disappear from the list). It doesn't show the message "Please restart Processing to update this item" making it look like the update failed. The message can be seen when opening the modes tab and selecting the mode in question.
Expected Behavior
Give the user some indication that they need to reboot.
Current Behavior
No indications that the download succeeded, or that the update requires a reboot of Processing, are given.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open PDE
- Click on "Updates" at the bottom-right. This assumes there are updates available and that some of them require a reboot (Processing for Android going from
4.5.0b2to4.5.0b4in my case) - Click
Update All - Select the mode that was just updated.
Your Environment
- Processing version: 4.1.2
- Operating System and OS version: Windows 10

Research direction
Start by reproducing the update flow in the PDE Updates tab using an item that requires a reboot, then compare it with the message shown in the Modes tab. Done means a successful update clearly indicates that Processing must be restarted instead of disappearing as if it failed.
