#17 Prompted for new version, but new version does not download

No

When start the app, I get prompted with modeal dialog that version 2.2.4.3 is available. If I click yes to download, a browser opens for https://www.tailforwindows.org/ which contains a very long list of links, but I don't see a link to download wintail. First, the app should be less fussy about upgrade. I'd sugget that it shows an indicator somewhere that an upgrade is available in a less annoying way. Do not use a modal dialog. No one likes a modal dialog! Second, if it says there's an upgrade available, then upgrading should work.

    I'm using version 2.2.4.2. If milestone indicates version, then I entered the wrong value.

      Thanks for fixing both issues.
      This is the best windows tail tool that I've found. But, it has significant room for improvement. Is the source code available? Do you accept pull requests?

        Hi Steve and thanks for your message.

        Would you be available to contribute to software improvements by helping me
        develop WinTail? It might also be good for me. Consider that the
        development environment I use is Visual Studio 2017 Professional licensed
        clearly. Let me know okay?

        Thank you bye-bye

              Steve Broshar - 2018-11-03

              Sounds good.
              If you'd like me to contribute to the development let me know. Would you consider putting the code on github or similar collaboration site?
              I need a tool like this and yours is the best I've found so far. I'd would save a lot of time if I could work with it rather than starting from scratch.
              Your tool covers basic tailing, and the highlighting is very useful. For the most part is has been reliable and robust -- except when the log file is being written quickly.
              The features I'm interested in:     horizontal scroll bar and/or line wrap.    automatic scroll lock; like when not at the bottom
                  better handling of log loading with lots of data (instead of hanging)
                  basic text search
                  select and copy to clipboard
              There are a number of UI/UX issue that I'd like to consider too. But, they are a lesser issue than the features I listed.
              If we're going to talk more, we should probably switch to personal email. Mine is mister.broshar@yahoo.com

              Thanks for fixing both issues.
              This is the best windows tail tool that I've found. But, it has
              significant room for improvement. Is the source code available? Do you
              accept pull requests?

              Hi. The issue you're talking about has been fixed today with the last
              version 2.2.4.3

              [tickets:#17] Prompted for new version, but new version does not download

              When start the app, I get prompted with modeal dialog that version 2.2.4.3
              is available. If I click yes to download, a browser opens for
              https://www.tailforwindows.org/ which contains a very long list of links,
              but I don't see a link to download wintail. First, the app should be less
              fussy about upgrade. I'd sugget that it shows an indicator somewhere that
              an upgrade is available in a less annoying way. Do not use a modal dialog.
              No one likes a modal dialog! Second, if it says there's an upgrade
              available, then upgrading should work.
