Check For Updates Dialog Actions

Top   Previous   Next

The Check For Updates Dialog allows you to check for updates to zsDuplicateHunter.  You will not normally need to use this screen while Scripting because the same functionality is available when zsDuplicateHunter starts up.

 

Check For Updates

The Check For Updates action will start the check for updates process.  You have the ability to check for updates on the current version as well as past versions.  In general, you will only want to check the current version.  You will need to run the Check for Updates action before checking properties such as Update Available.  This is equivalent to selecting the Check Now button.
