Depends

Normally, pleasure. However, sometimes there's several updates in a week (or even a day). Then it gets tedious.

Well

For regular updates I use the Portable app Updater. https://portableapps.com/node/12584 (I get tired of linking to it) for Dev tests, it's ok. plus, unless you get errors, updates aren't absolutely required, so I check every now and then.

P.S. A beta three of the updater will be released soon. XD

Testing a new PApp... pleasure.

Updating a PApp that have a lot of new changes... pleasure.

Updating an PApp and then go again to delete "others" and "App Info" folder, every readme and so on txt file, help.html, and lng files... tedious, boring, etc... Wink

and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report Biggrin

deleting all the unneeded stuff like chinese/polish/dutch etc lang files and the source and such to save space.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

Why

Why bother doing that unless you are running out of space? Plus, I bet somebody could whip up a batch file to do that for you.

..

because it's a total waste of space to have maybe 50
language-files for each app you have . Furthermore theres
a limit to how many file-entries the FAT can contain .
I would much prefer not to have to install redundant language-files in the first place .

Updating ? tedious..

But,

If it isn't affecting your experience in any way, why delete them every time? Unless you start to run low on space, I see no point in deleting them. Also, as I said, ask someone to make a batch file for you is it really bothers you that much.
