Check for new version — pop-up message, time intervals

[T U]

Hi. I think it would be useful to have these options.

One reason for me is that the output pane almost always has text in it, so I don't notice. Also, QM often runs for days, so - as far as I can tell - it won't check for updates since it's not restarted.

For it QM runs function from System folder - TO_CheckForNewQmVersion. You can copy it and change the clone to do whatever. Example:

Function MY_CheckForNewQmVersion

Code:

;Checks for new QM version.
;If there is new version, displays version info in QM output and adds tray icon (i).
;To run this at startup, assign trigger: QM events -> QM started.

;you can change these values
int firstCheckAfterSeconds=30
int periodHours=24
int flags=0 ;;flag 1 - debug (always behave like a new version is available; ignore firstCheckAfterSeconds; allow multiple threads)
