Installation:AutoUpdate

Additional user files

For a reasonable use of the program it makes sense to install a dictionary. This file as well as the localization of menus and designs can be downloaded and installed by the program. After choosing a file at the configuration that is not yet locally available you have to confirm the download, and all processing is done automatically. The progress is shown at the status bar. The download is done in background in a separate thread so you can use the program in the meanwhile.

User files are located in a special folder with guaranteed write permission (except of the portable versions). Depending on operation system, this directory might not easily to find - at least under Windows. Therefore a convenience feature is available with direct access in the configuration dialog.

Update of installed files

After the first start, and later at regular intervals, the program checks for updates. A small file is downloaded in which all available files together with the most recent version number are listed. These data are compared with the already downloaded files and, if the version number is different, updated after confirmation by the user. If the main program is being updated you will be asked to close the running application by the installer. All other files are loaded in background.

Further information

The auto updater does not only update files but provides as well the most recent links to this help (wiki), to the forums, and other sources. Especially, the list of known game servers is updated with this procedure.
