Show dialog for component update again

[TobiasLanger]

Hi KNIME community,

I told KNIME to not ask me again about components updates, everytime I open up a new workflow.

This was 3 years ago and now I want to have this dialoge back but cannot find the respective preference option.

Do you know where I can allow KNIME again to ask me for components updates?

Thanks and BR

Tobi

Hey there,

welcome back :-).

I think this is what you are looking for:

Preferences => select KNIME => Component updates section => Update linked components when workflow loads => Set to Prompt (you probably have selected Never right now)

Hi,

I recalled it to be around there but sadly for me this is not shown anymore.

FYI: Because of internal company reasons I must use the 4.5.1 version.

I see - ok that may make things more complicated.

I found a post from a long time ago - it looks like you have to export your knime preferences, open the exported file and remove this line

/instance/org.knime.workbench.ui/knime.metanode.updateOnLoad=never

Then save the file and import the preferences.

Here is the link to the solution of the respective post:

Linked Components not updating properly

Hi @stevelp, I don’t know if that can be reset in the preference GUI, but you can export your KNIME preferences from the File menu under “Export preferences…” If you have a look at the exported file, there should be a line like this: /instance/org.knime.workbench.ui/knime.metanode.updateOnLoad=never If you remove this line and then import the settings again, KNIME should start asking you to update when opening a workflow. You can also set the value to “always”, if you prefer. Kind regards, …

The solution with setting it to always worked

Thank you for that!

FYI: Just deleting the line didn’t work.
