Update Check
(1/1)
wraith808:
I know this is at least an issue in FARR and SSC, but the update check has no way to disable it. I update... but not necessarily when the check fires, especially on my work machine. Then, day after day, the dialog continues to come up. Very annoying. But even worse than annoying, I was out of the office for a few weeks. When I came back, FARR had 1 update reminder for every day I'd been out.
Can we have an option to not check for updates daily? Or to disable update checks for a specific version until the next version?
mouser:
All of my apps that include update checking function have a checkbox for whether they should check for updates -- it's always on the first options tab.
I would not dream of adding an online update check that could not be disabled -- that would be completely unacceptable.
Here's FARR's:
ps.
All of my app's that have update checking also have a manual update check in the Help menu, so you can always turn off auto update checking and just check manually when you want.

Thanks! I thought that was unusual... I looked for it and didn't find it. :-[
wraith808:
Ah... I figured it out. I guess I was using an older version before you added that ability but the update check was there. I updated to the latest and the option is there.
mouser:
The older versions of FARR were weird -- the update check options were in a very strange place, on the plugins configuration page (and you could set how often to check every X hours) :-[
Now i'm standardizing all my apps to have an option on first tab saying whether to do update checking on startup.
