So, if you have already installed X-libreoffice 4.0.0 (not yet offically released), the manager checks the number of your release with the official one. In this check, It looks different, so you have the alert of a new release is available! in reality you have a DIFFERENT release! This behaviour sometimes happens also when we have 2 versions of same program in download (i.e. X-keepass 1.* and X-Keepass 2.*) Hope this feedback can hepls to understand the "misundersanding" | ||

Accordingly, your argumentation does not be the cause of the incorrect display of the upgrade manager. | ||

SNIP I'm talking about X-Libreoffice, not Libreoffice Our Updates are monitored only for Portable versions, tested and "officially linked" in our download area. | ||

Accordingly, your argumentation is not quite understandable for me. [ Edited Thu 14 Feb 2013 - 12:04 ] | ||

This solved for me. [ Edited Thu 14 Feb 2013 - 15:38 ] | ||

Incidentally, this manual solution (in cases where it work) would also not eliminate the fundamental problem of incorrect display in the Upgrade Manager, because it is necessary to alter the entries in the wpp menu every time again. | ||

(this explain my previous sentences... apologies) dropper wrote ... Accordingly, your argumentation is not quite understandable for me. Actually, because of the chamge of MAIN release (3.5.X -> 4.0.X), the only way to have your wPP update working properly is: Open wpp menu window, select X-LibreOffice, press F5 to open properties, select tab Info, paste http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1354 in wPP Download Page box. This forks fine for me, since long time ago. | ||

But in my case it doesn't work as I have mentioned above. Regarding my remark in connection with the necessity of an alteration every time again I meant, that you must make these manually entries for every new app with such an issue in the upgrade manager. And also in the case, if the link will be changed, you must again copy this new link. [ Edited Thu 14 Feb 2013 - 16:46 ] | ||
