  • Download notification for 507 MB (No Auto-download)
  • Start download
  • Cancel download
  • Switch to Auto-download midnight to midnight in Settings
  • Bug: no check & no download
  • Switch to No Auto-download and see notification for 168 MB
  • Switch back to Auto-download midnight to midnight
  • Bug: still no check & no download
  • Enter Update now and download commences

This is roughly the sequence of events as per the log

    This is working as designed. Canceling a download prevents "system initiated" downloads from starting until the next time the application is started. The only "user initiated" downloads are clicking the link in the available downloads notification or using the "update now" and "update resources" commands. Changing settings are not considered a "user initiated" download because it is not explicitly obvious to a user that changing that setting could immediately begin a download.

    I do think the "system initiated" download block should be removed if a "user initiated" download begins, rather than needing to wait for an application restart. I'll create a case to make that change.

    Agreed

    I was expecting it in that scenario, but I'll allow that a user may want to (have time to) schedule the remaining download for a more convenient time. So it makes sense to remove the "system initiated" download block for this case!

    This should be fixed in 6.3 RC2.

    Confirmed  i.e.

    1. Start download  (Auto-download YES)
    2. Cancel it
    3. Resume download with "update now"  & let it finish
    4. Download of new resource began after a few minutes
