On the the check for updates via RunThor.prg, a way to turn CFU of would be nice. Thor could be enough. (via parameter, so customer can decide)

See the documentation for RunThor.PRG, which states, in part:

The parameter tnDays is the interval in days between calls to ‘Check for Updates’. A value of 1 means that it will be performed in your first IDE session of each day; a value of 7 means once a week. If the parameter is missing or is not a positive number, ‘Check For Updates’ is not called.

@Jimrnelson Nobody doubts this. This is issue is called a Feature Request

The request was Allow an option to only Update Thor, do not run CFU

I can not see why, quoting an obvious part of the docu, this feature request is closed?

Hey, this was a simple misunderstanding of your request. Don't get all bent out of shape.

CFU is a single process for getting updates of VFPX projects, including Thor and many many others.

Your request was, when using RunThor:

a way to turn CFU off would be nice

That was what I responded to, a way to use RunThor to turn off CFU, which meant all updates.

I understand now that this was not your intent.

I suggest leaving this issue closed and restating your request as a new issue.

It was not intended, but I share this feeling if canceled. We should either add more smileys or do more laughs to ourselfs. And sometimes patiently ask and answer. We both are triggered to fast. :)

I agree!

We'll both do better with more patience and acceptance of each others' misunderstandings. (For that matter, the whole world would.)

I have re-opened this issue, expecting that you will agree with this clarification:

You're asking for an enhancement to RunThor so that it can be called to do exactly this:

• Run the part of 'Check For Updates' which checks for and optionally installs updates just to Thor.
• Then exits without checking for updates of any of the other VFPX projects normally part of 'Check For Updates'.

This describes it very well.
