beta7 updater runs incessantly without user confirmation

user0

The 1Password 7 beta updater runs continuously in the background, downloading the newest version, extracting the archive, then asking for an administrator password to install itself. Since I don't want to install the update at this time, I hit cancel on the password dialog, and 1password repeats the process... ad infinitum...

The update/download dialog actually asks "Would you like to download and install the new version now?" but it proceeds on its own without any confirmation.

The only way to stop this is to quickly cancel the DOWNLOADing process (as the download only takes about 2 seconds), and you'll finally be provided with actual options to install or not.

This is extremely annoying.

Hello @user0,

There's a new option that should help. It's in the Updates tab of 1Password's preferences and it's titled Automatically install updates. I don't know if that option will stay but it's there at least in the betas until we learn more about the good and bad of attempting automatic updates.

@littlebobbytables - I was looking for such an option (which I did not find), assuming that would be the cause of the problem.

My Preferences|Updates tab include only:
Check for updates (Check Now) (Show Release Notes)
x Automatically check for updates {NOTE: but NOT automatically install}
x Include beta builds

Maybe you mean just turning off "automatically check" ?

The issue is that the normal (Skip This Version) (Remind Me Later) (Install Update) buttons are not displayed unless you manage to hit cancel on the automatic download of the new version. This is just a small bug but should be noted.

Hi @user0,

It looks like it's a new addition to 7.0.BETA-6 so hopefully you'll see it after installing the most recent update. It seems one way or another we're going to encourage you to install that update. Slightly more seriously, let me know if you don't see the option I've mentioned once you get time to install the BETA-6 update.

There is is. Thanks @littlebobbytables :-)
