Option to skip "Unsupported OS Version" for recent macOS versions
I've paid for a licence, but I'm getting constant nagging at startup over macOS 27 being unsupported. I get it, but SmartGit works and this is just unprofessional nag-ware. No other apps on my Mac do this!
People without the perpetual right to upgrade will be FORCED to upgrade for no reason. Lets just have a one-time warning, and keep things professional.
Its a pity this otherwise superb product is resorting to nagware in this way. Essentially forcing everyone on macOS to buy a new licence every year.
Answer
This is not about nagware. We are simply being rather cautious about reminding users that their SmartGit version may not run perfectly on their particular macOS version and such a setup is in general unsupported. Our goal is certainly not to force users to upgrade if SmartGit works fine for them.
There is currently no simple "Don't show again" option because we are concerned that users might dismiss the warning too easily and later run into problems with an unsupported macOS version, having forgotten about the warning.
To address this, we have added a new system property in build 26.1.054 that allows you to suppress this warning. Please update to this build using Help | Check for Latest Build and give it a try.
Add the following line to the smartgit.properties file in your SmartGit settings directory:
smartgit.smartgit.startup.skipUnsupportedMacOSVersionWarning=true
You can find the location of your settings directory here:
After restarting SmartGit, the "Unsupported OS Version" warning should no longer appear for recent macOS versions.
Great, thank you I will try this out. I appreciate your caution but the warning gets very tiresome when appearing 20 times a day.
