Check online updates

[ScottMattes]

How can our plugin be included in the Latest Version column?

 

[Marco Kalter]

To include a Plug-In in the online update check, we'll need a file with the following information:

[<plugin>.dll]
Version=<major.minor.patch.build>
WhatsNew=<text describing enhancements, or url to release notes page>
Download=<url to downwload location>

Line 2 and 3 will change for each update. If the Plug-In version of the user is lower than the version specified in this file (located on our web server), he or she will get a notification from the update system.

Note that your Plug-In must report a version number.

Marco,
Thank you.

Is that documented in the Help, or the PluginDoc.pdf?

 

[Marco Kalter]

No, this seems to be an omission. We'll add this to the documentation.
