Hi,
not sure how to ask properly.

x86-64 system
KDE Plasma (latest stable version 5.16.5)
Nextcloud-client (stable version 2.5.2)
while the latest is unstable 2.6.1 (~amd64)

The problem is: each time the desktop is started,
the client shows the always-visible notification "There is newer version (2.6.1) - please update"

1) there is no newer version for my system (if we count only stable ebuilds)
2) It is annoying, as I must go and explicitly close it each time - otherwise it will stay forever and take my attention.
3) looks like this sort of notifications can not be disabled: in client options we can switch off only the notifications from the server. While this is the notification from client itself, probably.

I think emerging unstable latest version can not be a recommended solution.
So, is there possibility to stop notifications from one specific application using System Settings? I see only checkbox to disable notifications completely at all.
Or other solutions?

SOLVED!

Thanks for the bug report URL.

Looks like they used wrong path for config file 'nextcloud.cfg'.
It should be ~/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg

I found it in the source: (doc/conffile.rst)
Quote:
The Nextcloud Client reads a configuration file. You can locate this configuration file as follows:

On Linux distributions:
``$HOME/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg``


So, adding this option in this file worked for me:

Code:
[General]
skipUpdateCheck=true
