When using the Check for Updates option in the menu, when there is no update, can eM client indicate “You are using the current version” or similar? When there is no update, nothing happens, there is no indication that the check-for-updates is actually working.
I realize that updates are pushed out over time and an update is available but may not install right away. Mainly I’m wondering if there can be an indicator that “checking for updates” is actually doing something?
If there is an official fully tested update, eM Client will normally automatically push it to the client. They generally appear “as a popup to install” when you initially open eM Client. So if there is no update, then that usually means you have the latest official fully tested updated version.
If you choose not to install the update when initially prompted, then you can click the check the update later anytime when ready to install it.
In between that, then there are also Interim updates you can manually download and test if you like as well via the release history page.
Thanks CyberZork. It’s the scenario when I manually check for updates Menu > Check for Update and when there is no update available. In that scenario, eM client gives no indication that it is or has checked for updates… It would be useful, and reassuring, for a prompt to appear “you have the latest update” or “you are using the current version”. Currently, I don’t know if the Check for Updates has worked or not and I generally try it several times to make sure I’ve initiated it correctly.
For instance, this is the message in another piece of software when I check for updates. This tells me I successfully checked for updates but none are available at the moment.
