Allow bigger time range for update checks

[dwt]

4.5 hours is mighty short for me, I would much rather do it only once a day.

Perhaps aa logarithmic time scale with a display of the currently selected value (so you don't have to discover the tooltip for that) would make sense?

I was thinking about this as well since some users may want daily or even weekly updates. I wonder if a different interface instead of the slider is a better option. Possibly something more flexible and easier to use than a logarithmic scale. For example a list of common durations, and an option to input a custom duration. What do you think?

That would be a text field with an added popup menu with some defaults.

I like text fields, but since there is no agreed upon and easily internationalizable textual description of durations that is easy to parse, that may not be the best idea. Best to just put a popup and provide suitable defaults of 'hourly', 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly'.

If you want more values, I would indeed go back to the logarithmic scale. Even Apple does this in System Preferences - so it should be ok.

Good suggestions, thanks. I'll prototype something and post back here for some feedback.

I'd pick weekly if available 🗓️
