Refresh package icon seems redundant #509
Description
Activity
Karthik Nadig (@karthiknadig) do we have this to handle installing packages from the command line and then refreshing to get the update from there? I remember there was a reason behind this button and unsure if thats still the case.
Ah I just tested and the list doesnt auto-reload for packages installed from the terminal. Is this something we could enable?
It should work, if you do it from Powershell. but we can't detect this from
cmd.There is a more general fix, we can monitor the
site-packagesand update whenever there is a change there.Reacted by Courtney Websteras a fix for MVP does it sound good to drop refresh into a sub-menu:

Let's put this on the backlog unless we might be able to get to it prior to MVP. I think this flow is more delightful than relying on a refresh button.

Based on study feedback, users felt the refresh packages icon might be redundant since edits seemed to update in the panel immediately and there is a refresh environments button that would do the same thing.
We could consider removing this
