Pixinsight 1.8.5 hangs after bugfix
« on: 2017 August 07 17:28:14 »
I opened PI and was notified that the latest math bugfix was available, which I downloaded.  I continued working in PI.  When I closed PI, it asked if I wanted to install the update.  I unchecked restart PI and said yes.  Nothing! I tried to restart PI, but it would not come up.  Opening the task manager, I saw PI running in background and killed the process.  I restarted PI and it indicated the bugfix was ready for download again.  I downloaded it again and closed PI.  This time I said restart PI and everything worked as expected.  Easy work around, but should be fixed.

Regards,

Charlie

how long was PI running in the background like that? seconds? or minutes?

sometimes it takes a while for PI to clean up all it's temporary directories, so it might be normal for it to take a bit of time to quit.

Hi Charlie,

Looks like a bug. I'll investigate. To be honest, I have not tested the update system without relaunching the application for a long time. Thank you for reporting.
