Feature Request: online Calibre updates
I'm surprised I didn't see it in when I searched the forum.
It would be great if Calibre had a upgrade process similar to Paint.NET or uTorrent, where the download and upgrade was handled in a one step process. Not a huge deal, but I think it would improve the user experience overall. Great product! Mike |

Auto-updates are a disaster waiting to happen Many calibre users run on many different vintages of hardware/OS, some incompatible with the current version. An update would ruin their install and possibly make the DB structure incompatible with a rollback. Others live in the boonies with limited (or expensive) bandwidth and prefer to wait and sneaker net the update from a place with bigger pipes. Then there are all the 'run from source' folk Then there are the Calibre Portable folk Then there are folk like me, who want to pick the TIME and place. Nothing worse that a reboot/restart required NOW in a tight time situation (Ever see those M$ shutdown Updates: 'Updates in progress, do not power off your computer'. And your battery is almost flat ) |
