Hi!

Starting BC3 build 452 today it told me in the menu-bar, that there is a New version available... :D

Clicking on that button brings up the Program updates and news dialog. Here I can choose to download the new build 453 either as *.tar, *.deb or *.rpm package. Since I'm on SuSE I choose to download RPM.
The download window pops up saying Downloading to: Desktop. After it has finished I looked for the new file BCompareLinux_080422.rpm, but it is nowhere to find :confused: .

Neither on the KDE-Desktop, nor in my home folder. I even used find / -iname "bcomparelinux*" as root in the console but only older builds were found.

Where is the download destination?


Bye
Christoph

Whoops, it appears that the file is saved as BC3Update.tar.gz. :o

Try using the file command to confirm that it is indeed an rpm package.

This will be fixed in the next release (454).

i'm seeing the same, and yes, this seems to be naming issue only :

$ file ~/Desktop/BC3Update.tar.gz
~/Desktop/BC3Update.tar.gz: RPM v3 bin i386 bcompare-3.0.0-453
$

installation seems to work fine (RHEL4).
