Minor AmiUpdate bug - mis-notification

Post by saimo »

AmiUpdate has had this minor bug since a long time (but I never got around to report it before :oops:), so it has not been introduced recently, and is not relative to AOS 4.1. FE.

When I start it, I get this:

This is a mis-detection as I don't have the Rollback drawer at all.

no rollback drawer?! but why?

i guess that in that case there is a default drawer used in the progdir:? maybe you can check with snoopy where it is accessed and convert it?

The Rollback drawer is precisely the one that should be in PROGDIR: (and isn't there).
This is what my AmiUpdate drawer contains:

but where is it?
please call rollback from the menu and try to figure.
does it list anything? if you can use snoopy to check where it is placed.

I don't have the Rollback drawer because I don't want it - I don't use the Rollback functionality. But my preferences are irrelevant: the point here is that when there is no Rollback drawer AmiUpdate throws that message, which is instead related to another kind of error.

At any rate, you are probably better off reporting the issue here: http://amiupdate.codebench.co.uk/bugtracker/bughome.php

Thanks, I didn't know there was a separate place. Done.
