That is a reasonable suggestion - - -
Although what you illustrate is exactly what I meant.
The problem seems to be the over-use of the word "update" -
The first thought is: "increase the firmware version number".
People who have been reading here before accept that in some cases that means an actual decrease in version number.
We are past that bump in the use of "update" -
But now we have the even more general usage of update meaning: "use what the GUI calls an update function" (regardless of what is actually being done to the firmware installation).
At the moment, that is just too much of a stretch with all the uses of the same word to mean different end results.
I need to fix that someway - probably re-word things wherever the word "update" now appears.
Plus the possible misunderstanding of what the image names mean I wrote about, when?, last week?
The "factory initial" -> being read as:
the initial version of the firmware shipped by the factory,
rather than:
the firmware initially installed for factory use, prior to shipment.
So I agree, even after six months, there are still some rough edges that I should fix.
