Adjustable Update Check Period

Post by DAWN_darkkkkk »

So i like to keep my softwares to be the latest, however i found XYplorer become laggy and not operatable for a few seconds when it start up and checks for update. ( tell me if this is my fault )
it's kinda annoy this happens everyday that i use my pc. here could be a time period options to check update every 3 days or every week once could improve this experience a lot. :tup:

You can already do that...

Set these:
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | [ ] Check for updates at startup
Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Scripting | [x] Remember permanent variables

Now download the attachment and place it in your XY scripts folder
If you don't know where this currently is: Menu - Scripting - Go to Scripts Folder

Finally: Menu - Scripting - Run Script...
Paste this and hit the OK button:

Code: Select all

cea(35, 1);
    cea(35, , 'e|load "UpdateXY.xys";');
Exit XYplorer
Start XYplorer

From now on it will check only every three days after the last update if there is a new one.
If you want seven days, edit the script and replace the 3 with a 7 in this line:

Code: Select all

        if (datediff($P_LAST_UPDATE, $now) < 3) { end true; }
UpdateXY.xys

alright thanks! yet i wish this could be an option built in the application, instead of this complicated process ( maybe im just dumb lol )
