Hi All, I would like to disable checking for automatic updates. I know the user can do this in Advanced settings but I would like to do this when I deploy the application to our users.
I’ve tried writing to the prefs domain com.mcneel.rhinoceros.7 with these keys but they don’t seem to work
Do you think there’s a way we could pass a valid “new-style Rhino settings” compatible-way in? I’m not sure this is even possible. I ran a diff on the ~/Library/Preferences/com.mcneel.rhinoceros.7.plist before and after setting the EnableCheckForUpdates in Preferences > Advanced, but I could not find this key as I believe the xml is compressed (?). Do you know a way to figure out the key?
In the end, we might need a more Mac compatible way to doing this. It was probably a mistake on our part (mine included) removing this.
@johnm It’s already easily set via the Advanced Settings page. The problem that @5kinner is having - if I’m understanding correctly - is he would like to set it via a script for a large-scale deployment. Something akin to calling:
from Terminal, zsh, or bash; ie: something that does not require starting Rhino. Hopefully, I’m reading his original post correctly. I was hoping we could figure out how to do something like this from bash:
defaults write com.mcneel.rhinoceros.7 <EnableCheckForUpdates> -bool NO
