Thanks for your idea.

This can already be done with the File/Save markings feature. You select your changes, save them and load them later again when you are online. Not as convenient as a seperate button.

If you think that is good enough, I'll close this report.

Cheers,

This is only a suggestion and I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement or achieve.  I have a problem where when I'm travelling that I don't always have internet access available.  Sometimes I realise that I have forgotten to install a package (using Ubuntu currently) and it would be great to be able to queue the installs  upgrades offline and download them the next time I'm online.

For example I could see it working like this:

1.  Run Synaptic
2.  Choose the packages to install / upgrade
3.  Instead of hitting apply, have an "Offline" button that saves the current requests to a file.
4.  When online next, have the option to open an offline file.
5.  This will then load up what you required to be downloaded and start.

Would this be a good idea to implement?
