Ok, so I've just had my first experience of automatic updates, and have some suggestions.

I was typing, and the dialog literally popped up on my screen, and automatically took focus. Before I knew what was going on, I had hit space, and the donate dialog had appeared. I hit the Not Now button, which started the download of the update. Figuring that I would update later, I hit the Cancel button which disappeared, but the download continued.

So, here are some suggestions:

• Create some kind of audible notification to alert the user to a new update (this could maybe appear in the notification area). In my opinion, this would not only be a nicer way than a dialog that automatically takes focus, but the user could choose when they wanted to actually update.
• Make the Cancel button of the download process functional, which would close the download and remove the temperary launcher from the temp directory.
• Alert the user as to when the update had been installed, as aposed to closing the installer and relaunching the new copy of NVDA.
  Blocking Ability to set download of new version reminder so it does not steal focus from running application. #5197
