Has any of the XYplorer programmers thought of a better/easier way of updating to new versions.
Many other programs allow you to just click a prompt offering a new version.
It then downloads. You agree to prompts and it installs over the top of the previous version.
With many frequent new versions continulaay having to download and manually install becomes tedious!
Thank you!

Re: Easier Update
You can check for updates at startup as highend suggested or from the menu bar you can click
Alternatively, you can run the
On left click
Here's a little icon I made for the button, I think it looks pretty neat...
Help|Online Support|Check for Updates
Alternatively, you can run the
update()
function, which I find very handy and quick to access when assigned to a custom toolbar button. It's a simple one-liner, but check the help document for more options...On left click
::update 1 + 128;

Re: Easier Update
This is indeed very helpful. Right now, using it with the syntax you provided, it's returning a new beta version. What would I use to have it only check for non-beta releases? There is one currently available (23.80.0200.)
Thanks.
Re: Easier Update
You can lookup any scripting command in the help file to get an explanation + examples, which should save you from having to ask each time.
