Easier Update

[Zaphire]

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!

What?
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | [x] Check for updates on startup

2 x "OK" button is tedious? oO

You can check for updates at startup as highend suggested or from the menu bar you can click 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;

Here's a little icon I made for the button, I think it looks pretty neat...

On left click ::update 1 + 128;

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.

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. update 128;
