5.1.2   Software Update

Click the Check Now button, and EagleFiler will tell you whether a newer version is available for download. By default, EagleFiler will automatically check for new versions each time it is launched and once per day. You can disable this feature by unchecking the checkbox.

If a new version is available, EagleFiler will tell you what’s new in that version. Click Download to have EagleFiler download the .dmg file for the new version to your Internet downloads folder. (You can change the folder in Safari’s preferences.) Click Download & Install to have it download the .dmg and then update the installed EagleFiler application to the new version.

To check for a new version, EagleFiler contacts a Web server at dreamhost.com. EagleFiler transmits the following information to the server: the name of the product (EagleFiler) and its version, the version of Mac OS X, whether EagleFiler has been purchased, the values of certain esoteric preferences, and the name of the current language. This information is used to guide future development. No personal information is transmitted.
