updating, how find settings, config etc #373

Closed astro46 closed 5 months ago

astro46 commented 6 months ago

I find that there is a v24. I am currently using v. 22.
Downloaded, unzipped to folder. moved folder to folder where I had v22 running from. (not program folder)

how do I tell v 24 what addons are installed, configuration, etc.
I tried copying the v22 'config' folder to the v24 folder. didn't help.

Or am I supposed to just copy TE64.exe from the v24 folder to the v22 folder. Everything else hasn't changed?

I don't see anything about this in the readme.

thanks, jeffrey

To update TE properly:

  1. Ensure you have enabled "Add-ons updater" add-on.
  2. Choose "Help > Check for updates" and reply OK.
  3. If you are using TE WebView2 extension, you need to use "WebView2 (Edge Blink engine)" add-on to update the extension.

Copy your v22 to another folder and try the above steps there.

Alternatively I have been developing a patched version of TE 23.9.13. You can download that version, extract it to a folder, install the patch and copy your v22 config folder there. The official update steps do not apply to the patch version.

that was easy. I have addons updater, and it is enabled. I used help>check for updates and it was done. I don't remember why I made it so complicated before. I guess I was trying to download the new version. Perhaps I went throught Help>about>check for updates or visit website and downloaded v24 from there but couldn't then figure out how to integrate it into the v22 that I was running.

I guess all is good now.
What is the tablacus webview version about? I have a couple of apps (eg: zoom) that force me to use webview, but I don't see the advantage in it. Is there an advantage to using webview for tablacus?
