Issue with Update instructions in Wiki (for Mac) #36

Closed laesetuc closed 1 month ago

laesetuc commented 1 month ago

Hi, regarding the update instructions here: https://github.com/spruceUI/spruceOS/wiki/Updating-to-the-Latest-Release

  1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the latest release .zip.
  2. Right-click it and select "extract all".
  3. Extract the .zip directly onto the microSD card.
  4. When prompted, allow the new files to replace the existing ones.

I believe if you do choose "Replace" on a Mac, it will cause the Roms, Saves, and BIOS folders to be replaced with the empty Roms, Saves and BIOS folders from the zip archive.

Suggest maybe to copy all context except for the Roms, Saves and BIOS folders to the card instead.

Hello, I think the behaviour might be different on windows but on Mac if you copy over an existing folder and choose “Replace” it will overwrite it completely. https://superuser.com/questions/117621/how-to-merge-and-not-replace-folders-when-copying-on-the-mac

I do not believe this to be the case.
