A novelyst plugin providing an on-demand update checker for the novelyst program and the installed plugins.

Installation

If novelyst is installed, the setup script auto-installs the novelyst_updater plugin in the novelyst plugin directory.

Operation

Launch the program

Open the update checker from the main menu: Tools > Check for updates.
If an update is found, a message pops up. You can choose:
- Yes starts your web browser with the update URL.
- No skips this update.
- Cancel cancels the update check.
If no update is found, a message pops up at the end.

Important

The novelyst_updater plugin only initiates the download process via the system web browser. If a download directory is preset, all zip files with the downloaded releases will end up there. You then perform the actual installation manually as usual.
