The Preferences window is displayed via the BlogAssist >
Preferences
menu item. This is the Updates
page. It allows
you to control whether or not you would like BlogAssist to help you
keep current by automatically checking for new releases, and lets you
specify how often to check and what kind of releases you are
interested in.
If this box is checked, BlogAssist will automatically check for new releases at the frequency you specify. It will only check when BlogAssist is running, and when you have a network (internet) connection. It is on by default, and is recommended to make keeping up-to-date as easy as possible.
This pop-up menu allows you to indicate how often BlogAssist
should look for updates. The choices are Daily
, Weekly
,
or Monthly
. After checking, it will wait at least this long
before automatically checking again. The default is Weekly
.
With this pop-up menu, you can specify whether you are
interested in Only General Releases
, or both Beta & General
Releases
. The default is Only General Releases
if you have
never used a beta release of BlogAssist, or Beta & General
Releases
if you've used a beta release.
This indicates whether or not BlogAssist found an update the last time it checked, along with the time and date that the Updates feature was last used, i.e. when BlogAssist last checked for a new version.
Click this button to look for a new release immediately. It is
equivalent to the BlogAssist > Check for Updates
menu command.
Click this button to change the preferences on this page back to the factory-set values. Preferences on other pages are not affected. A confirmation sheet is presented, unless it was disabled.
Click this button to display the page of the User Guide
that discusses this window, i.e. the page you are reading now.
