Topic: Feature Request! - Update all out of date devices

'Update all out of date devices' function..

Can you make automatic notice before saving and deploying??
Or automatic updating when we open old files...or upgrading firmware..

People can make mistake..

Re: Feature Request! - Update all out of date devices

I don't want it to be automatic, because if you open an 1.2.6 file in 1.5.1 to check on how you did something in a previous Project, you would not want to do an update.

Do you want NWare to always do an "Update All Out of Date Devices..." before it compiles?  It might slow things down a little, but it might be worth it....

Make it intuitive, never leave them guessing.

Re: Feature Request! - Update all out of date devices

I agree with Fergy... Not automatic!  ...even before a compile.

Somewhere else in the forum was a suggestion to have a check when the file is opened that presents information regarding the creation date, revision date, software version (Created with), etc.  This could easily be expanded with links to update the devices, save a copy, download the older software version, etc.

Thanks,

Joe
