Use this tab of the Preferences dialogue box to determine if and when CodeSnip checks for program and database updates. The tab is accessed by selecting the Tools | Preferences menu item then clicking the Updates tab.
There are two combo boxes, Check for program updates and Check for database updates. They allow you to determine if, and how often, CodeSnip checks to see if updates to the program and the online Code Snippets Database are available, respectively.
The available choices are:
The default value is Weekly.
Select Never if you don't want CodeSnip to check for updates automatically. You can still check manually as follows:
CodeSnip performs update checking in a background thread shortly after starting up. If there are no updates available you will see nothing. If any updates are available a small notification window is displayed in the bottom right hand side of the main window. The notification window will be displayed for about 20 seconds or until you close it.
The notification window will describe the available update and provide a button to click to enable it to be downloaded.
