Request for an option to disable update notifications

Logic 2 Software
1

This post is a request to disable all notifications regarding available updates in Saleae Logic. Some of you work in fast-moving startup environments where you always want to be on the latest software for everything. That’s great.

But some of us work in highly controlled environments and have no control of the version of the tools we’re using. For us, being told that there’s a new version available is not only completely useless but also annoying. It’s essentially spam.

Please, please give us a simple check box that disables all notifications about software updates. I don’t want to download software updates; I don’t want to be told there’s a new update available. I don’t want to click away anything that is useless to me.

Thanks.

Hi @chwilliams, sorry about that!

There is a GUI feature to disable automatic download, but to disable automatic update checking completely, we just tossed in an environment variable to disable it. If you set SALEAE_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=1, it will stop checking completely. If you’re on windows, you can run setx SALEAE_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK "1" from a regular cmd terminal to set it.

Again, sorry for the trouble with this!
