Good point, AppFresh works well, but at most with the MAS it will alert you that updates are ready. If it can actually kick off the process with no intervention I'll be thrilled. Can AppFresh automatically install updates? Or does it just present the list? And I'll add the note that in my experience AppFresh behaves when replacing applications. If it doesn't know how to replace the app, it leaves the installer or DMG in the Downloads folder. I've never experienced a botched update. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
