Updating

In previous version of Eve-MEEP (2.x.x.x), Updating the main application or data files meant coming to the website and downloading a full zip of all the new files. Getting new plug-in tools also meant downloading from the website and moving them into the folder. A new feature of Eve-MEEP is an automatic updater, found in the tool bar under Help>Check For Updates.

Menu location of the Update Window

This window initially has a listing of all the files you currently have, along with what version they are.

Update Window prior to check for any updates

When you click the button labeled ‘Check for Updates’ Eve-MEEP downloads an Xml file from this website (incidentally the same xml file displayed on the downloads page). It compares the file versions to the versions of what you have, and if any are missing or outdated they turn red.

Update Window when there are new files

You can then select the files you wish to download, and let Eve-MEEP do it for you. It will download everything, move it to the proper place, and then quit. This lets you reload Eve-MEEP with the new changes.
