RSS is a "pull" technology, where the client (ClipMate) downloads the feed on a periodic basis, directly from our server. If you would like to see what is contained in the feed, you can browse the file directly on our server: It's actually a customized RSS feed, using Feed For Developers by NotePage. RSS/XML is used in a fashion similar to RSS newsreaders like FeedDemon. This will usually be formatted HTML, with links to larger articles and downloadable setup files. Click on an article, and the content is shown in the browser window below. Then there are various icons to show whether it's a software update, alert, news article, or other general information. The first icon shows whether the article is new (bright orange) or old (grey). It's intentionally run in the background, so as not to interrupt your work.Īrticles are shown with two icons next to the article title. It's normal for the "Updates Available" menu option to delay its appearance on the toolbar.
#CLIPMATE UPDATE UPDATE#
If the update check runs, but you do not visit the updates screen before shutting down, it will run again the next time you run the program.
Just click at your convenience, and you will be taken to the ClipMate News/Updates screen where you can review the articles. If it finds updates, it will add a flashing red icon on any of the main toolbars.
If enabled, the auto-update check will download the update file shortly after ClipMate starts. Or, you can automate the check to run every 5 days or so - there is an option right on the screen, also found on the " General" tab of the options dialog.
There will be a pause of a few seconds while the update file is downloaded.
#CLIPMATE UPDATE MANUAL#
You can run a manual update check from the Help menu | ClipMate News And Updates. The items appearing in the ClipMate News and Updates window will contain links to the actual file to be downloaded, which will launch into your web browser when clicked. It will also retrieve alerts, tips, and excerpts from our periodic newsletter. Automatic Update Check / ClipMate News / ClipFeedingĪdvanced > Miscellaneous Functions > Automatic Update Check / ClipMate NewsĬlipMate has an auto-update feature which polls our server for the latest version, along with details about changes/fixes.
