[SOLVED] postpone delay addon update for selected addons?

Can you tell me how to use it?
I want to stay on Anki 2.1.22 for a while and I want to block all add-on updates.

I would be nice to have simple option in config.json or other appropriate file like:
block all add-ons updates: true

I don’t understand what:
"default for updates since last check": true,
means in this case. And some diffs and windows path follows and I completely don’t understand what is going on there.

I see there are 4 add-ons shared with very similar name. Could you link the add-on in particular?

What I see from this add-on dialog that is on screenshot it checks for updates by default and allows to decide whether to update or not. What if I want to avoid even this. Let’s say I am to lazy to make decisions or everything is fine with the versions of add-on I have and I don’t want any updates.

I reformulate my question: is it possible to set it: “don’t check for updates of any add-on” or “block all updates”.

@ijgnd heads up

He is the add-on author and will be able to help you.

I made this add-on.

is it possible to set it: “don’t check for updates of any add-on”

Not with my add-on because I don’t need/want this.

 

[is it possible to set it: ] “block all updates”

Set "default for updates since last check" to false. Then the dialog should open once a day but by nothing should be selected so than you can click ok or maybe just click cancel.

To be on the safe side: Make a backup of your add-ons with proper backup software and know how to restore it. The old versions of your notes and cards that anki stores and calls “backup” don’t include your add-ons.

And some diffs and windows path follows and I completely don’t understand what is going on there.

Google e.g “winmerge” or “diff compare folder”. This should allow you to compare the source code of the old and new add-on version which means you must know the programming language python. This is probably irrelevant for you.
