Update notifier: Install updates disabled
#3

Does it function?
Because since the clean setup till now, there were at least 5 updates and the menu option never went out of gray. That's why I asked the question, otherwise, why would I bother to search for the script/program and make a distinct launcher or even waste time (mine, yours, others) to ask on the forum??!  :-\
I asked because it was supposed to work, but does nothing.
So, there are questions still wandering around:
Does it happen only on my machine?
Did anyone test it?
And if so, what might cause it to stop working?
Maybe the code that triggers the update, is different from /usr/bin/lite-updates and somehow it hangs. If there is a conditional that enables the menu item (I expect it is!), than what is the condition and how is it supposed to be met?
If I were to figure it out, I would test the size of the update list or the flag for the notifier, the same that triggers the icon change, and I would change the state of the button/Item to
Code:
MenuItem.Enabled= True
,
before the user clicks on the taskbar icon or, at least, on the OnClick Event, to avoid listening all the events in a loop.
Or, maybe the "Refresh" method of the widget works bad, or who knows what actually happens?
The Refresh, should be triggered by the Notify setting. Since it notifies, it means (so far) it works.
So, where to head to?

PS: How is it supposed to work, if the icon in the tray says "You have updates!" and the menu item IS GRAYED? How does that explain?  :-\

PPS: I think I'll make a video on that, on the next update. Maybe it will make it more clear.

My best regards!
