TLDR : the automatic update check did not work, for the plugin and for epubcheck, but these are both enabled in preference file.


Hi Doitsu, first, thanks again for this plugin, really useful.

Today I had a strange glitch, wondering if it is a known issue or something I did (wrong).

I had accidentally doubled the "modified" date in the opf file. But no error was found. Following the return from the client, I double checked outside of Sigil using my local version of epubcheck and the error was correctly reported.

I had manually installed the latest version of epubcheck (5.1.0) previously.

I discovered that the plugin had not been updated to the latest version. I did this manually, and the first time I ran it, it updated epubcheck as well to the latest version, so I guess it does not use the same installation as where I installed it (C:\epubcheck). The updated version correctly found the error.

But, in the preferences file, both github and update check are enabled, with a 7 day interval. So I'm not sure why no new versions were signalled / installed, for the plugin and for epubcheck. Did I break something?

Here is the (new) preferences file, it was modified a bit when I updated to the latest version but as far as I can see the only difference is "locale": "fr", was deleted (can I still use that?).

{
"update_check": true,
"clipboard_copy": false,
"usage": false,
"github": true,
"last_time_checked": "2023-09-19 13:04:25.371487",
"check_interval": 7,
"java_path": "java"
}

The check interval was 14, I modified to 7, that's the only thing I changed so far.

Hopefully I didn't break anything important, I use this plugin every day.

Thanks in advance if you have any idea what went wrong.
