Is it possible to disable auto update #57

Closed Sozialarchiv closed 1 year ago

Sozialarchiv commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to disable auto update to user app directory?

We installed the daemon to program files, but after a while most of the user had it in their profile app folders.

This is annoying if you are using a central software distribution system.

We've removed auto update, replacing it with a "Check for Updates" button in the UI in version 2.1.. But I'm thinking this doesn't solve your problem, @Sozialarchiv, right? You'd like the ability to disable ALL updates from the user side, either automatic or on-demand.

Hi mgobat,

thank you for the changes. That is very nice.

Unfortunately we don't use any more the print-daemon. To many print jobs disappeared. We think that the error was rather on the server side and that the print deamon works perfectly. However, SLSP/ExLibris were never able to find out exactly what the error was, so we are now printing manually.

The concern of this issue was to have a way to turn off user updates, as we control software updates centrally.

However, since we do not use the software, the issue can be closed.
