Disable update reminder.


Recommended Posts

Coming from the thread above, I really wished there was a way to disable the annoying update notification every time I open Designer, Photo or Publisher.

I haven't seen this “feature” in any other application and I really want to decide by my own, when to update.
Please, add an option to disable this. Thank you.

It was requested long ago, and even supposed to be 😞

You could see if you have the Updates preference in Preferences. I don't know if there is one for Windows but on Mac OS it looks like this in Publisher (Photo and Designer were purchased from the Mac App Store and I have that set to check and update manually in my OS System Preferences).

Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

There should be an option to disable the update reminder, for casual users like me. I have no desire to install every point release, I don't use it that intensely, and my simple task works just dandy without the latest 580MB update.

It has an unpleasant shareware smell when you get nagged every*single*time*you*start*it.

I'd be happy to be reminded of the major versions (1.9, 1.10, ...)
