[tdf-discuss] Automatic Update / Update info

2011-01-24 Thread Jaime R. Garza
Hello all, for when is it planned to have Automatic Update for Windows Mac LibreOffice, for Linux usually makes no sense? My opinion, the user should be able to decide if it's completely Automatic, or they only get an info pop window, offering a one click update. Cheers! Jaime --

Why not make a simple solution in the meantime? Only tell the user there is a new version, and a link to the new version. Obviously the installable of the new version should be able to automatically de-install the old version. That should be actually very easy, don't you think so? Cheers! On

Hi, Actually that does already exist, if I'm not misstaken, except it does not do anything with uninstall the old version. But there's an alert on the desktop that notifies the user when there's a new version (same with extensions btw). Best, Charles. Le Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:08:58 +0100, Jaime

It does work only for stable releases (unless we dumped that update component???) . Anyway, if you have any ideas on the implementation of such a feature, you're welcome to upload a patch :-) Best, Charles. Le Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:51:36 +0100, Jaime R. Garza gar...@gmail.com a écrit : I have

I would love to, if I could! Maybe I'll have to learn how to make extensions and probably make one. If it's already implemented for the stable releases, why not add it to the RCs too, as optional? Cheers! On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:06, Charles-H. Schulz charles.sch...@documentfoundation.org

So, we're talking about some discussions that took place during the OpenOffice time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away :-) I don't remember why we had chosen not to implement it for betas/RC , there was supposedly a good reason for that but I completely forgot about it. Let me ask anyway.

Hallo Rene, You also need Admin rights to install under Windows, but that's not the point. The point is that the user should be notified that there is a new version. If he or she can install it, that's not our problem. Schöne Grüsse / Cheers / Saludos Jaime On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 11:41, Rene
