I disagree. You absolutely need the option toggle to disable the check. And whether you have one checkbox or one checkbox and a couple of radio buttons, there's not really any difference in my eyes. It is on its own tabpage. So when you argue with "keeping options simple" you imply that you would move that "enable/disable automatic check for updates" control to another tab. And that would not be an improvement in my eyes. and regarding distributing the requests: I don't see any need for it either. Corporate environments where are large number of users will start LO at around the same time will very likely have the update check disabled (or point to their own server), linux distributors will have it disabled, so remains private users and small to tiny business users. Europe and America have the largest userbase, and surely there will be a bias towards business hours in those regions, but I don't see the need for any advanced scheduling logic. At least we should wait after 3.5.0 is released and the access logs can prove me wrong :-) ciao Christian _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
