A widget crash fix and a new update-notification toggle
This release stops the desktop widget crashing when you unplug a drive, and lets you silence "update available" alerts on their own. Plus six more cables in the database.
Fixed
- The widget no longer crashes when you eject a USB-C device. If you kept a WhatCable widget in Notification Center and quit the app, ejecting a USB-C drive could crash the widget. The widget was leaving background hardware watchers running after it had finished reading, and a later plug or unplug event would land on memory that was already gone. It now shuts those watchers down cleanly. Thanks to @xnop for the report and the crash logs (M4 Studio).
New
- Separate toggle for app-update notifications. Settings now has a "Notify on app updates" switch under "Notify on cable changes". You can turn off the "update available" alert while keeping your cable-change notifications. It is on by default, so nothing changes unless you want it to.
Also
- Six more cables in the database. New fingerprints from your reports: the Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro 1.8m and Thunderbolt 3 1m cables and the LG 27MD5KL bundled cable (@gtz42), the CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro Braided 1m (@UnbelievablyNoah), the LOGIIX Piston Connect 240W (@smallsco), and the UGREEN 140W charger cable (@smallsco). Browse them all at whatcable.uk/cables.
