Previously the full installer would act like the online installer, which would mean if it detected you had updated components it would skip them. This change makes it so that it ignores the components check and simply installs everything every time. It does not prompt for an uninstall beforehand, but if there are frequent lingering issues while using full installers for updates we might implement that in the future.
I have a lot of plans for the installers to clean stuff like this up (including a long overdue look at non-admin installs), but my goal right now is to get the new image libraries and update basically all our dependencies by the end of the year. So unfortunately I’m not sure how much time I’ll have for installer upgrades until after that is done, although someone else could always take over for me.
Getting an error on photoshop and it’s showing sharpen IA plus another drop down with sharpen AI BETA. I’d send you the screen shots but this post wont allow it
I’m seriously over Topaz updates. Why can’t you just attend to the changes and update the existing program? I’m tired of wasting so much of my limited bandwidth getting the entire revised program downloaded, then the old one hopefully gets dumped. Possibly. I can’t get rid of the previous Gigapixel AI program from my Mac despite every effort, and I really resent having a Gigabyte of my limited hard drive taken up by an obsolete program. Your programs surely do great things to images, but I’m seriously over the problems each time there’s an update.
I’m still seeing no difference between the images in Comparison mode (Windows 10). With Auto update on if I move a slider the Update button becomes highlighted but there’s no change in the image until I click update - see screenshot with both Auto-update and Update highlighted:
Is this an error that pops up, or is the beta option showing the error you’re talking about? I took a look and it seems like the 2.2.0 installer is dropping both the beta and non-beta plugins, so I can fix that.
