Change Update Behaviour from auto at startup to manual

Hi,

Currently EDT ,maybe once a day or by some internal logic checks for Updates , which blocks the user from using app for few seconds at launch. It disrupts the workflow unnecessarily.

I am unable to find a setting on OSX to change this behaviour or stop this behaviour or make the updates manual only.

It should only make this check once per week. Currently, you can’t change the frequency.

Probably I’m asking for trouble saying this, but if you are comfortable with such things it appears you can edit the following key in com.oryxdigital.EasyDataTransform.plist in ~/Library/Preferences (with the app not running, of course):

<key>last_updated_check</key>
<string>2025-02-26</string>

I’d think increasing the month or year or whatever would disable that check for a while.

If the update check really annoys you, that would be a way around it.
