(I've done it several times, but I always forget and have to look it up again.)<br /><br />All other Apple programs I use can be updated at once using "Software Update," or in the case of my Anaconda Python installation, using "conda update."

And consider the case when you were prompted, and decided to do it later. Next time you sit down you might have forgotten. Repeat.<br /><br />Many people will react "What? You had a fix and didn't tell me BEFORE I spent hours working?" Are they obviously wrong?<br />Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-46097655086244768312015-09-16T10:25:57.950-04:002015-09-16T10:25:57.950-04:00Do any programs do it that way?

Every program I have ever used has either checked for updates at launch (e.g., Notepad++ and iTunes) or not checked at all.PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011728672116977010noreply@blogger.com
