tortoiseSVN update notification

This dialog sucks. I know the question has already been raised! I’m simply teh UX guy who doesn’t like it.

Here are some ideas: since the shell is heavily integrated with the product, you can:

  • schedule the update to be performed before the shell is started, on log-on
  • detach the shell extension from the core functionality
  • AT LEAST change the url to be the proper one so that we immediately get the new version instead of going through 3 pages on the site

Yeah, not trivial, but will make us love you, tortoise guys.
