Auto Update Notification upon closing NPP
-
Hi!
I’m an avid enjoyer of NPP, but one thing drives me nuts. I open NPP, start to type some text, only to notice that the Auto Update Notification popped up and I typed everything into nothingness.
I rarely update my NPP because I usually want to do something in it when I open it, not update the program first.
It would be great to have a setting to Auto Check for updates upon closing NPP.
Is there an option for that I’m missing or is just not a feature? Id so, where would the best place be for a feature request?
Ty!

The FAQ of this site contains such information.

But don’t bother making such a request; it’s been requested before, and is still an open item.

Suggestion: Disable auto-update and manually check for updates periodically?

Even worse, it’s been requested multiple times – recently in #15369, and earlier in #8457, and earlier in #3755.
And in the two earlier issues, the statement from the developer when they were closed was that “the silent installation” option that now exists is the only way he’s willing to address the issue…
But I don’t think those issues ever pointed out the specific issue that @morgantic pointed out: that if you are accustomed to opening the app and immediately typing, it will just absorb all that typing without doing anything useful (and hitting ENTER might even accidentally start the update process, when you really thought you were just typing a newline in text). However, the developer didn’t close the most-recent #15369 (yet), so maybe @morgantic could supply the additional information there, trying to lend credence to the argument that the “silent installation” mentioned in the closed issues is not a sufficient fix for all the problems that update-at-launch causes.
