Fetch Help > Windows > Fetch Update (Single Update) Dialog

When Fetch detects that a new version of Fetch is available, either from the automatic update check or when you choose Check for Update manually, it displays this dialog. The Fetch Update dialog tells you the version number of the update, whether the update is free or requires a purchase, and presents you with several possible actions.

You can click the More Info button to see a webpage with more information about this update, such as a description of new features and other changes. After reading the details about the update, you can click Quit & Get Update or Buy (depending on whether the update is free or requires a purchase) to download the update. If you don't want to download and install the update now, you can click Later to be prompted again later, or Skip to not be reminded about the update ever again.

More details:

Quit & Get Update - (Only present for free updates.) Click this button to download the update in your web browser. Fetch will quit before the download begins, because if your current copy of Fetch is running, you cannot replace it with the update. If you have downloads in progress or have windows with unsaved changes, Fetch will ask you to review the windows before you quit. Fetch will then tell your web browser to download the update. Once the download is finished, you should mount the disk image (if it isn't mounted automatically) and drag the new Fetch to the Applications folder or your preferred location for it. If the download is not successful, relaunch Fetch, choose Fetch > Check for Update, and try again.

Buy - (Only present for updates requiring a purchase.) Click this button to be guided through purchasing the update. Once your purchase is complete, you will be prompted to download the update in your web browser.

More Info - Click this button to see a webpage with more information about the Fetch update being offered to you, such as a description of new features and other changes.

Later - Click this button to dismiss the Fetch Update dialog without any action being taken. You will be reminded about this update again the next time an automatic update check takes place. You can also get the update at a more convenient time by choosing Fetch > Check for Update manually.

Skip - Click this button to tell Fetch that you do not want to be reminded about this update again. You will not be reminded about this update when the next automatic update check takes place; the next time you'll be reminded will be when a further update to Fetch is available. However, if you later change your mind and want to get this update, you can choose Fetch > Check for Update, and you will be offered the currently available updates. You can also go to the Fetch Softworks website to download the update.

In some cases, there may be two updates available for Fetch at the same time - a free update and an update that requires a purchase. When two updates are available, Fetch will show the Fetch Update (Two Updates) dialog instead.
