Updating to LC rc3? Look out for zombie rc2

Post by cavenewt » Sun Aug 25, 2013 6:18 pm

I just let LC update itself from 6.1.1 rc2 to 6.1.1 rc3. When it relaunched after the install, About LC still said rc2.

Checking my Applications folder, I see I now have both versions. So I zipped up rc2 and launched rc3.

Just a heads-up.

yeah they don't replace the old one, all updates will just be added. Altho very mac-unlike, this assures that you can always go back if a newer version has problems.

I do zip up the old one and delete the working copy of it.

The point is, when LC updates itself, it does not launch the newer version automatically. You have to quit it and go open the new one.
