EarlyUpdateCheck

Version Releasedate Downloads
License: GPL v3

Keepass performs its update check only after all initialization is done and - if configured - the most recently used database has been opened.

EarlyUpdateCheck checks for updates of KeePass and installed plugins BEFORE a database will be opened.
Additionally, it offers a handy one click update mode for all of my plugins integrated in KeePass' update check. This will invoke Windows UAC if required to copy the downloaded files into KeePass' plugin folder. Details can be found in the configuration settings.

EarlyUpdateCheck can update other author's plugins as well. Please have a look at the wiki for details.

The update check triggered by EarlyUpdateCheck will be performed only if all of the following criteria are met

  • "Check for update at KeePass startup" is active
  • "Remember and automatically open last used database on start" is active
  • "Start minimized and locked" is not active

Configuration

EarlyUpdateCheck integrates into KeePass' options form. Options

The upper part defines whether the update check shall start even before a database is opened. In this case, the update check is triggered as early as possible. As the update check runs in a separate thread, it is still possible that you opened a database while the update check is still running.

To avoid this, check Update check in foregound. KeePass will then wait for the update check to be finished. In case of network issues you may have this update check continue in background.
Checking

One-Click plugin update

The lower part of the options screen allow you to update my plugins in a very easy way. If an update for any of my plugins is available, the Update check form will show an additional column. Select all plugins you wish to update and click Start Update.
Update

Once the plugins have been updated, you need to restart KeePass.

Translations

My plugins are provided with English language built-in and allow usage of translation files. These translation files need to be placed in a folder called Translations inside your plugin folder. If a text is missing in the translation file, it is backfilled with English text. You're welcome to add additional translation files by creating a pull request as described in the wiki.

Naming convention for translation files: <plugin name>.<language identifier>.language.xml
Example: EarlyUpdateCheck.de.language.xml

The language identifier in the filename must match the language identifier inside the KeePass language that you can select using View -> Change language...
This identifier is shown there as well.
