            Bug ID: 158657
           Summary: Revamp the online update dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

With the latest changes to the online update mechanism the existing dialog as
shown here 

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-update-libre-writer-there-is-no-update-options-button-missing-online-update
becomes more crowded as shown in https://pasteboard.co/G2LZ2NuLWXJo.png.

I struggle with 
[x] Check for updates automatically
[ ] Enable automatic updates

If the two options are mutually we can use radio buttons, if the automatic
update just applies the update we could change the wording (and make it
depending ie. disabled from the "check for updates" option).

As a user I don't know what to do with the download destination - expect the
application to use the default dir, and if experts/admins want/need to change
this it could be an expert option.

The same applies to "[ ] Send OS version...", which sounds like statistics. The
updater probably wont work without knowing OS/DE but I can switch it just
on/off anyway. If this is needed by average users we should find a better name
(or explain in the help). Help says "Enable the check to send information about
your LibreOffice version, operating system and basic hardware. This information
is used to optimize the download."
We could hide the actual text with an expander.

To summarize what I have in mind:

Online Update Options
  Check for updates
   ( ) Never
   ( ) Daily
   ( ) Weekly
   (o) Monthly
   [Check Now]

  [x] Apply updates automatically

Download Channel
  (o) Use browser info
      > More info
  ( ) Use application info
      > More info
  ( ) Configure OS and hardware manually
      [Windows  v]
      [64bit    v]
(makes no sense to me, apparently it's used somehow differently)
