I'm looking for information about how the updater of the platform works ...
I did not find anything in the documentation: https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/index.html
neither in the index, in the complete table of contents, or in the glossary
Does this updater actually check the version that one really has or just look on a database of previous updates that it did?
Lastly I saw him offer me updates that had been made "by hand" when the app offered me (thunderbird).
And secondly if we accept the update proposed by the updater when it was already done manually, what happens: it reinstalls over?
I ask this because I have stability problems with thunderbird since I had the case (without loss of data or pb with "profiles" file...); but beyond that the mode of operation of the updater appeals to me ...
and besides my example, I think that it will be useful to know it because the majority of the softwares now check themselves the updates at startup and propose them ...
thank you to enlighten me
