Feature Request: Update on Exit

Open tomludd opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Description of the Issue

I think Notepad++ could do the same as Paint.net; notify that an update is available, and give the option to update when exiting Notepad++.

An update is not required for general use of Notepad++, thus the update can be delayed until exiting the application.

Expected Behavior

  • Open Notepad++
  • Get Update notification
  • Select "Update on Exit."
  • Edit files, save, exit.
  • Update sequence is starting.
  • Complete update sequence.

Actual Behavior

  • Open Notepad++
  • Get Update notification
  • Start update sequence.
  • (Disturb work flow!)
  • Complete update sequence.
  • (Tyr and Remember what was to be edited.)
  • Edit files, save, exit.

This is an excellent idea and something everyone should be doing. I can't believe only paint.net guys thought of it.

Closing in favor of the more-recent #8457 duplicate.

Actual Behavior Open Notepad++ Get Update notification

For me it actually is:

  • Open Notepad++
  • make coffee
  • drink that coffee
  • notepad++ finally opens

I have that once per day and it seems related to GUP.exe and some internally used timeout of 30 seconds.

There won't be Update on Exit. But "Silent Install" will be in the next release. I consider the issue is solved by: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/wingup/commit/069edc21e28db01b13f88ac451aa71aea4889dfe
