In WoodMart > Patcher, allow us to define a schedule at which WoodMart would automatically install patches.

Hi Simon, thanks for the suggestion!
Right now we don’t have plans to add scheduled patching. Patches are usually targeted fixes for specific issues that are hard to solve with a custom code snippet. Anything critical that affects all customers is always shipped as a separate theme update, so a site that only gets regular updates is never left without an important fix.
There is also a safety reason. A patch replaces theme files directly on a live site, so we prefer that someone is there to clear the caches afterwards and check that everything works as expected with their customizations. If that happened unattended, a problem could go unnoticed for a while, and there would be no quick way to roll the change back.
If you want to install everything that’s pending, the “Apply all” button in WoodMart > Patcher does it in one click.
Kind Regards
