Little BUG "Check for updates now"

[dneuhaus76]

Hello,
There seems to bee a little BUG only shows up in "english". Help --> Check for updates now = is still visible. (we configured it to not be shown)
If i switch to another language like german, the "Check for updates now" = is not visible (correct - as we configured it)

The menu item "Check for updates now" is never removed, but you can configure whether you want automatic checks for updates or not via this menu item. That is why this option is always visible - so you can re-enable automatic checks, if you change your mind.

If you don't want to see the option you will have to edit the .mnu file for the chosen language.

If i switch to another language like german, the "Check for updates now" = is not visible (correct - as we configured it)

- that is not correct - unless your wcmd_deu.mnu file is very old (from sep. 17 2015 (TC v. 8.52a) or older).

Thank you but you are not right - We have in our Enterprise the version 11.02 with its language files. If i change language to German,French,Italian this option is not there - If i change to English this Option is there & This behavior seems to be a little bug but i know it is not really important --> In the newest Version 11.51 there is the same behavior.
The Option to disable such things is not made by me, the developer implemented that - but why some people do not want show update buttons (we have licencesed and repackaged to virtual package - updates, will not work in this constellation - so update is disabled in our configuration)

Confirmed with internal English only and restricted interface, for example:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
RestrictInterface=1024

It seems it was added shortly before releasing TC 9.0 and only tested privately (no release candidate), and never worked correctly.

20.11.16 Added: RestrictInterface=1024: Disable manual and automatic update checks, and hide update function from menu (e.g. for companies) (32/64)

Confirmed with RestrictInterface=1024 - I hadn't thought of that option being in play.

You could use an external wcmd_eng.mnu file for now until I fix it.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.55 release candidate 1, please test it!

20.03.25 Fixed: When using the built-in English menu, hide the "Check for updates now" menu item when RestrictInterface contains value 1024 (32/64)

Tested with TC 11.55rc1.

Bug found:
RestrictInterface=1024 also removes the icons for the first 3 menu entries of the Help menu, but only for 32-bit TC (64-bit TC works fine).

[ghisler(Author)]

Strange, it works with my wincmd.ini but doesn't work with a fresh ini. I will check it.

[petermad]

Making any change in the "Icons in main menu" configuration brings back the help item icons - but only until TC is restarted.

09.05.25 Fixed: Main menu: Menu items in Help menu had no icons when using RestrictInterface=1024 (32)

Tested OK using TC 11.55rc2 32-bit.
