Effect update on startup

[MacSa Profile]

Hi,

it looks like the latest version does update the effect galley on startup if it hasn´t been updated for some time.

If you cancel out the update during startup the program ends instead of starting with the old gallery, as I would have expected.

I think an update during startup should be made optional (or able to cancel) to avoid problems when no internet is available or the user is in a rush and just wanted to do a quick edit with an existing effect.

Hi MacSa,

I agree update during startup is not ideal, so I've tried to avoid it, however you might have found a bug with that. The gallery only updates on startup if it doesn't have any valid gallery to work with. It only checks for a new gallery when you close the software (and you can just leave that dialog open and go on with other things). If it's updating on startup a lot that sounds like it's not properly remembering when it has a valid gallery (perhaps it gets confused when you cancel an update), so I'll look into that and try and fix it for the next release.

Hi Tony,

thanks for the feedback.

I have tried to reproduced the request for update during start again - but was not able to do so ...

Two possibilities:
- I might have not started SPE for a longer time (about 3 weeks)
- I might have installed an update in between and this might have been the first start of the update

Just so I don´t let you run around looking for things that I might have caused ...

Thanks again - MacSass

Hi MacSass

I looked into it yesterday and found that if you cancel an update, it will force an update the next time you start the software even if you already had a valid gallery. I've fixed this and the fix is just going into testing now.
