AstroFlat Pro will by default regularly check online for product updates released by ProDigital Software. These updates can contain new features, bug fixes, and other product improvements.
AstroFlat Pro can also display other important messages from ProDigital Software. For example, a message to advise you of a serious bug or a workaround for a problem that you can use until we release a new version to correct it.
While we recommend that you leave these features enabled, you can disable them if you wish to do so. You can also control how often these online checks for updates and messages will be performed.
Of course, these features are only operable if your computer has a connection to the Internet.
Check For UpdatesThe AstroFlat Pro Update dialog will be displayed when the plug-in determines a new revison of AstroFlat Pro has become available online. The product update announcement will display important information about the new version such as bugs that were fixed or features that were added. You may elect to install the new version now or at a later time. You may also choose to skip the installation of the new version entirely. The process is entirely under your control; AstroFlat Pro never performs automatic (or invisible) updates to your software. Note that you can manually check for updates at any time by visiting our Downloads web page online. |
Important AnnouncementsThe A Message From ProDigital Software dialog will be displayed when AstroFlat Pro wants to deliver important information to you. For example, it could be information on a newly discovered bug and how to work around it. |
Configure Updates And AnnouncementsThe option selections in the Product Options section of the Preferences Dialog will allow you to determine whether or not AstroFlat Pro will check online for new updates or announcements. It will also allow you to specify how often these checks are performed. |
