I really like Manager, but It would have been very helpful to me if there had been two warnings regarding updating the program version:
rename the existing downloaded file before downloading a newer version so that I would have access to the older version if the new one created issues
keep at least the last three backups because the data files are not backward compatible.
Actually, a warning from the website before downloading would be even better, in case a user doesn’t think to check the guide regarding updates.
This has arisen due to the Windows XP discontinuation.
When you download manager and are given the option to save - this is when you “rename” the Manager file. EG - add a date to the file being download. This way you don’t have to go back and rename it before doing the next download.
When you do a backup, Manager now adds a time stamp to the backup file, so the one file is no longer getting overwritten.
Thanks Brucanna, my fault I just missed the notification about XP until it was too late.
I have also really appreciated having the date included in the backup files. I back up really often and I just didn’t keep them far enough back.
For the MSI files, I plan to rename them to show the version #, rather than the date of download. It would be great if that happened automatically though, because I’m really lazy. It would save having to check all the time to see if there’s a newer version.
