<div dir="ltr">I don't find this that useful. Unless the internal updater starts using differential updates (which would be great), I think it's better to just open the download site in a browser. </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jul 20, 2014 at 7:35 PM, Joel Madero <<a href="mailto:jmadero.dev@gmail.com" target="_blank">jmadero.dev@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi All, I know we've discussed this already a few times - both within ESC and within the QA call but I wanted to get a better sense of what is needed to move forward with getting it fixed. FWIW I've closed 3 bugs this at least tangentially related to the subject. So - from what I understand the entire updater is just broken, when you get a notification that there is a new version you click it and it just takes you to the website where additional clicks are needed to download, and then more to install. QA has discussed this a few times and generally I think we've come up with a roadmap of what would be ideal but I know that it will require others to implement so I'm not trying to "push" this onto any developer just curious how (if at all) we can get it fixed. Phase I: Fix what is already there - currently you can go to Help -> Check for Updates and there is a "Install" button that is always inactive. How much work would it take to at least fix that? If this will never get fixed (or be a long time) I think we should remove the button as it just reminds users about a broken feature that has been broken for a long time already. FWIW here I think we need to be clearer about what it means to "check for update" because it's based on what branch you are on Phase II: Add new options to allow a user to select the branch they want (fresh/stable/pre-release) and then another option to either "download only" or "download and install" which would automatically either download to a folder or download and install upon release. I think Phase II would be an amazing addition that would be kind of one of those big things we could run some PR about during a major release. Like I said - not pushing this on anyone, just curious where we stand as I see updater related bug reports and enhancement requests and QA has discussed it quite a few times as something that we feel need some love/attention.
