How do I update PharoLauncher?
self naiveUserMode: #on. If I press refresh in PharoLauncher, it doesn't tell me there is a new version available, and asks me to download, install and restart the launcher. If I download by hand and reinstall, will it keep all my images and settings? Is that different on Ubuntu with apt update/grade? How can I switch/upgrade the vm used for an image? Stephan

Yes, at least on windows the pharo preference and image repository wont be deleted.
Is that different on Ubuntu with apt update/grade?
I don't think this is different, the apt-package does not know about the download and preferences directory that is used and wont touch it. (but there may be different preference directories for different vm version (Pharo/3.0 Pharo/4.0)
How can I switch/upgrade the vm used for an image?
AFAIK there is only one VM used, the one that runs the pharo launcher image.

Uhm, yes, thank you. As a naive user, I probably don't know, so probably both...

Good.

With Spur we are likely to have a period where it makes sense to be able to choose a vm.

Thanks, I'll do that for the moment. Stephan

In Settings (bottom right) you can set the VM to use for images. Note this is a global setting. Some nice enhancements would be: * To have a drop down menu where you can select between last N previous VMs used. * To be able to set VM it per image. cheers -ben
