"Benefits of registration" dialog popup frequency?

Post by kurtis.miller » Mon Dec 09, 2013 1:20 pm

How frequently should this pop up? It seems somewhat random, but I'm seeing it anywhere from once or twice a day all the way up to every hour or so.

This dialog is a problem when the diff also throws an error (git tries to compare a new, deleted or renamed file against /dev/null) since this screen sometimes pops under the other but still has focus.

That dialog only appears when you haven't registered (paid).
It should appear any time the program is launched if it has
been at least an hour since the last program launch.

I'll log a bug against the /dev/null issue so it'll do the right
thing and not complain about the file. But I won't be able
to address it any time soon. (BTW, what platform are you
on?)

The easiest/quickest solution would be to click on the link
and register your copy and the problem will go away.

Thanks
jeff

Gotcha.

Regarding the /dev/null issue, I'm on Win7 Enterprise.
