Check for updates?
« on: December 30, 2002, 04:34:59 pm »

Does the SDK allow for plugins to check for updated versions and offer to install if found?  This would be a great feature to plugins.... Just wondering if it is possible or not... Or maybe it should be a plugin itself  ;)

there is no option.

but you can do it by placing a text file on your website like

My Program Name - Version.dat

Inside a version number

100 (major, minor etc...)

update this when you update your plugin

then use the SDK transfer option and allow this to be downloaded by the program. then check the version number of the program with the version.dat file if it is higher then there must be a new version.

My program Chart Finder And another Program Dup Finder (From Someone Else) Uses this to inform users there is a new version.
