with it.

RE: Updater doesn't update - is this correct behavior?

2016-10-14 Thread Ralph DiMola
I like to keep the older versions because of LiveCode's exciting new features, 
multi-platform support and a faster than par update schedule to support the 
constantly changing OS platforms. Invariably bugs (regression or otherwise) 
creep in. I like having these older versions available by default. That being 
said, if you click the "replace older version" box which version do you 
overwrite if you have 4 versions(6.7.x,7.1.x,8.0.x,8.1.X) installed? LiveCode 
being a multi platform development tool needs a different update philosophy 
then say MS Word.

Having updated a number of software packages on my Mac in the last couple of 
days, I note that a typical ‘check for updates’ sequence overwrites the 
previous version of the package: for LiveCode, this ain’t so, so one has to 
delete the older version oneself. I guess this is OK if it’s clearly explained 
to newbies, and there are obvious advantages if you want to go back to the 
earlier version, but personally I would like the choice to keep or replace when 
the installation starts. Anyone else think this is a good idea?
