Feature Request - Ability to Update Bootloader from GUI

[Aveamantium]

Not sure if it is possible or not but being able to update the bootloader from the GUI would be an awesome add.  Obviously this can be done from the shell as is well documented around here but just an idea for those not wanting to run shell commands.

As long as you boot in UEFI mode it's basically two simple commands that do the trick without any risk of writing to the wrong partition...

I did my first ever Bootloader upgrade this week and after reading a couple of topics here it was pretty easy!

That link is about a full-blown tty-style terminal plugin. I think the thread starter is looking for a simple button solution with one single purpose.

True, but...

I think the thread starter is looking for a simple button solution with one single purpose.

It's more or less the same thing and I think I have also seen messages from @franco saying that creating something like this would be very tricky and risky because of the possibility of partition layout mismatching with what the script expects...

All in all : I think this will never happen as long as FreeBSD doesn't have some kind of extremely reliable way to do it after updating/upgrading :)
