The Preferences window is displayed via the Caboodle >
Preferences
menu item. This is the Updates page. It allows you to
control whether or not you would like Caboodle 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, Caboodle will automatically check for new releases at the frequency you specify. It will only check when Caboodle 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 Caboodle 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 Caboodle, or Beta & General Releases if you've used a beta release.
This indicates whether or not Caboodle found an update the last time it checked, along with the time and date that the Updates feature was last used, i.e. when Caboodle last checked for a new version.
Click this button to look for a new release immediately. It is
equivalent to the Caboodle > 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.
