It also had a little workaround to help tackle an old “stuck tray icon” problem that was really Microsoft’s fault, but hey, if they can’t fix it, someone has to fix it for them! Today’s new release adds another little fix to do with tight repeat loops around “forced delay” commands in macros, but its biggest change is actually a small tweak to the defaults for new users. The previous release, 4.7, added some useful tweaks to make all edit screens retain their last-used position, and an advanced option to respect process session boundaries (great for machines with multiple active user accounts). If you haven’t updated your copy of PTFB Pro for a while, now would be a good time. Posted in Automatically respond to Windows prompts and information requests, How to eliminate Workflow Interruptions | Tagged filezilla, updates This is one small example of how PTFB Pro can help lessen the irritations of working on a computer, and goes right back to what the acronym PTFB stands for: Push The Freakin’ Button! Grab a copy of PTFB from the download page now – you get a free trial for 30 days, and unlike most software these days, it’s installer is very lightweight (no huge package of runtime libraries or other bloat). This basically converts the update dialog into an update email the dialog disappears so fast it doesn’t interrupt my workflow, while the email sits there in my inbox (with a screenshot detailing what the update provides) as a reminder for when I have the time to actually apply the update. The Single Press quickly dismisses the notification via its Close button.īut as it does this, it takes a screenshot of the notification and mails it to me… There’s no option for that in FileZilla, but with PTFB Pro, I was able to make one using a Single Press Item: Many times I’m in a rush and I just want to get my file transfer done I’d rather leave the update for a time when I’m in less of a hurry.
To be fair you can configure how frequently FileZilla checks for updates, but thing is, once it finds an update, it’ll bug you relentlessly every time you launch the program until you relent and upgrade. I can’t help but be irritated by its update notification dialog: I’ve been using it for all my FTP transfers for years now and it’s never let me down in fact, over time it’s got faster and more dependable. FileZilla is a truly great piece of software.
