Auto update improvements: Updater #119

Closed theClueless closed 4 years ago

theClueless commented 4 years ago

started working on updating the updater (changing from static to instance) and moving the repository to app.config so it would be configurable and later on we can start releasing with auto updates enabled

Not sure how we can solve the portable mode's UserData. Had a brief look at squirrel project, didn't see anything obvious to exclude folder during installation

theClueless commented 4 years ago

we can always backup the data to another folder before the update and afterwards get it back or something like that, or just don't give this ability in portable mode

theClueless commented 4 years ago

but auto updates if we do changes is really important

jjw24 commented 4 years ago

Yeah that was the last resort for me that I can think of, might just move the folder out temporarily but pretty ugly. I was alternatively also wondering if we could switch from squirrel to something else. So far just a thought. But yeah continue with the work on auto updates.
