[BUG] GitToolBox shows an advertisement every time I start RubyMine

[unikitty37]

Describe the bug Every time I restart RubyMine, a new tab is opened with the following text

🎉 Thank you for using GitToolBox 🎉 I recently released a new freemium plugin integrating Git worktrees into the IDE. You can find more info on gitworktree.lukasz-zielinski.com

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Start RubyMine. Observe the tab is opened.
2. Close the tab.
3. Quit RubyMine.
4. Start RubyMine. Observe the tab is reopened.

Expected behaviour At most, the tab should appear once and, once closed, should not reappear again. ("Once" means "once ever", not "once per RubyMine session", "once per week", "once per RubyMine version", by the way!)

Ideally, the IDE I pay for and use for productive work should never be hijacked by advertising unless I have explicitly consented to it (and "explicitly consented" means I am not penalised for saying "no" by means such as disabling features).

There isn't even an option I can find in Settings > Version Control > GitToolBox to disable this.

Hi, I'll look into it. Notification is implemented to be shown only once.

I pushed 500.2.4+233 to EAP channel that has new option to disable promotional information, as proper fix will take a bit longer. https://gittoolbox.lukasz-zielinski.com/docs/eap-releases/ describes how to switch to EAP builds.

I very rarely release exclusive EAP versions and always push regular releases there too, so there is little drawback if you stay on EAP in the future.

Brilliant — thanks!

Not sure if you want this issue left open in order to track the full fix; please feel free to close if you don't 🙂

Done in 500.2.5
