I don't "save settings on exit" - and so this text reminds me until I save manually! So for me it's ok this way.

Nop. I don't save because I need to start XY with (currently limited to, but I'm aware of workarounds) the same session each and every time, so the upgrade reminder is a way I have to see that NOTHING has changed since last change. When things NEED to be updated it's a hassle to control stuff like that, but I can live with it...I don't "save settings on exit" - and so this text reminds me until I save manually!

The titlebar showing previous version on upgrade is an important debugging tool for me. If you'd get the emails I get you'd understand.

-but would be nice to have the OPTION to disable it, as since a release-I-can't-tell-which-by-not-finding-change-in-the-records we don't have the ".0000" for major releases anymore. Some people just find such stuff annoying.
Self:(Am I the only one?)
Admin:Nop.
That makes 3 of us....important debugging tool for me.

Code: Select all
+ Configuration | Templates: To suppress the automatic upgrade
notice in the titlebar (it is shown when you first run a new
XYplorer version), you can now add the pseudo-variable <nun> (= No
Upgrade Notice) anywhere to the template. E.g.:
<path> - <app> @ <ini> - <ver><nun>
But I think the method is strange: add a display variable saying what you don't want to be displayed
Wouldn't it be better to delete the automatic display of old version, define a variable <oldvers> (or alike) and add this when migrating the .ini from an older version of XY? (This would keep the display as it was before.) After that anyone could delete it if wanted.
Then it would be as before: everything in the formatting-string says what should be shown - not what should not be shown

Yep, it is strange, but in this context ok. It will remain a hidden feature anyway. I just added it to stop the begging.PeterH wrote:admin wrote:OK OK, you finally softened my heart. You get something with the next BETA...OK - some will like itCode: Select all
