Little BUG "Check for updates now"

Post by *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.

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.
