How do I update?

This program has a software update feature that can be set in the "Update" preference tab to automatically search for a newer version online* when launching. You can also manually initiate an update search by clicking on the "Check Now" button in the "Update" preference tab or selecting "Check for Update..." from the application menu (the menu to the right of the Apple menu). If a newer version is found the software update window will expand to show details about it (see image below).

¨

If you do not have time to download the newer version, you can click the "Cancel" button to dismiss the Software Update window and continue using the current version. The new version will be displayed again the next time software update runs. If you would like to get the new version, click the "Download & Install" button. The Software Update window will then shrink and display the transfer status, (see image below), as the .zip file containing the new version is downloaded to your Applications folder.

¨

When the download is done, the .zip file with the new version is installed. When finished, the .zip file is moved to the trash. The current version of this software then quits and the new version automatically opens. Finally, the new version moves the prior version to the trash to complete the process (leaving just the new version in your Applications folder).

*If you have a dial-up internet connection, we recommend turning off the automatic search in the "Update" preference tab. When you want to check for updates, make sure you are online and then click the "Update Now" button in the "Update" preference tab or select "Check for Update..." from the application menu (the menu to the right of the Apple menu).
