[REQ] Add interval days in the hover info auto updater about blender-addon-updater HOT 3 OPEN

Ideally it should show all the items, didnt knew how to do that though as that setup gave a Tuple error.

Yup, your last approach is an appropriate way to get days in that tooltip (for days at least). One thing to know is that when an operator registers, it only evaluates that description at the moment of registration (ie even if you showed the user preferences options to change the interval, the text wouldn't be updated as the user changed it).

For this reason, I'll not update the master repository because updating the text this way would conflict with the primary UI which does have the interval options. I am actually going to recommend developers using the updater to simply directly modify the property text explicitly by putting in the interval of weeks/days, as I have done here. It's a little hard to fully accommodate all possible setups of the updater, so I'd rather let the individual developer do the minor relevant modifications, rather than trying to incorporate a lot fo extra code to work around these sorts of things.

As a reminder, the addon_updater.py file should never need to be modified, but the addon_updater_ops.py should be modified as needed, with this condensed UI as just an example of what's possible.

Going to keep this issue open so that others can see how you coded the example, thanks for putting it together.
