To aid the application development this project uses [Sentry.io](https://sentry.io/)
|
|
|
|
|
to track all exceptions raised by the application. It is essential to identify bugs
|
|
|
|
|
and fix them with minimal user intervention superseeding the need to user
|
|
|
|
|
[troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As part of Sentry error tracking the following information is being sent and is logged
|
|
|
|
|
including, but not only:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Windows Version
|
|
|
|
|
- .NET Framework Version
|

Additionally for statistic purposes the installation ID, application version

|
|
|
|
and which SteamDeckTools apps are used might be tracked as part of Update
|
|
|
|
|
process to see active user-base vs version used.

The installation ID is one time generated GUID that is persisted on the first start
|
|
|
|
|
of an application.

Application for auto-update purposes checks for latest release on a start,

## Disable it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create `DisableCheckForUpdates.txt` file. To validate that this is working,
|
|
|
|
|
when clicking `Check for Updates` or running `Updater.exe` the application
|
|
|
|
|
will show `This application has explicitly disabled auto-updates`.
