Opt-out of auto-updating new app versions
Currently, you are using an auto-update that downloads in the background with no option to prevent the auto-download. This becomes a problem in two cases: 1. **Memory and Processor hog:** The auto-updater package hogs a lot of system resources, this becomes a concern on systems with lower specs. In my case, this actually renders my development laptop unusable while the updater is working. 1. **Limited Data Plans:** More importantly, for people on a limited data plan, routinely downloading a ~70MB electron package can eat up the data allowance. This has happened to me, unfortunately. My request is to add an opt-out setting to prevent the auto-updater being called. Instead, requesting and comparing the version information. Then notifying the user a new version is out and requesting they download it. This enables the end-user to prevent data allowances and system resources hogging.
