Feature request: Ability to disable 'update date and time' popup #674

Closed Herbis closed 10 months ago

Herbis commented 10 months ago

Motivation

Every time you switch batteries ( or have not had a battery in your GoPro for a while) or maybe you just use external power source that you connect / disconnect, the camera will show an 'update date and time' popup, which you can't dismiss (without just starting a recording). This is a very annoying, as I often have to quickly setup the camera, adjust the view, and move on to the next camera. This prevents me from doing that. I also do not care what date is set on my video footage. It's okay for it to use the year 1970 for all I care, and this is the case for plenty of other customers, that are in similar predicament.

Expected behavior

  1. Preferred - popup is never shown. Permanent setting enabled with QRControl.
  2. Alternate - popup can be dismissed with one click (have an 'ignore' button or something). Permanent setting enabled with QRControl, or default firmware behavior.

Requesting for GoPro camera models: Hero 11, Hero 10, future Hero models
