   No, this is dangerous. An update could then install some files and not   
   some others and an unforeseen inconsistency results.   
      
   I don't remember that button, but that it doesn't exist now is (almost   
   surely) intentional.   
      
      
   If you remember what openSUSE version had that button I can verify it in   
   a virtual machine.
