How to stop FileZilla reminding me of a new version every time?

[Paddy Landau]

The newest FIleZilla is no longer compatible with my system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

So, I have fixed it at the latest version that works (3.10.3). I have turned off automatic update checking: Edit > Preferences > Updates > Never.

Unfortunately, every time that I open FileZilla, it checks for a new version and tells me about it.

How can I get FileZilla to stop reminding me about the new version?

Thanks.

It does propose the version it found earlier. Since there isn't any option in the GUI to clear that information (it's in the filezilla.xml) you would have to manually clear it.

1. Close FileZilla
2. Go to ~/.config/filezilla (it might be hidden by default)
3. Edit filezilla.xml
4. Search for a setting like this (example, not the same)

Code: Select all

<Setting name="Update Check New Version">nightly 2015-05-23 http://filezilla-project.org/nightlies/2015-05-23/x86_64-w64-mingw32/FileZilla_3_setup.exe 7122856 sha512 be363122b77660214f5870cfa04cc59520eb8b0434a8297da9cc4429ef19c2721932185215d93609f0ca99aa7a31611d0fb21acb953586bc81012a10e3a26705 &#x0A;release 3.11.0.1 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/filezilla/FileZilla_3.11.0.1_win64-setup.exe 6471520 sha512 4487ca787f8f64a4a191d3227028cdb3557766d4227135d3891d933c06a9a04f1e6b39a046173055d8341e879f58232a555696f6b803e7ff54c71a47d3dc3d9f&#x0A;</Setting>

5. Change that line so it reads

Code: Select all

<Setting name="Update Check New Version" />

6. Save and done.

Thank you, that did it.
