Possibly the same issue as described here?
Can we get a menu option to check and force the editor to update?
I’ve been just thinking about this and I wouldn’t have mentioned it without being prompted by this post, since I’m kinda torn. Whenever there’s an update, I launch Defold, notice that it is the case and then Defold has to be restarted. I was thinking that it would be nice if it could simply update automatically.
Then again, I very much appreciate that Defold is so reasonable when it comes to new updates. I detest it when a pop-up offering an update shows up when I’m starting a program. I tend to not install it out of spite when that happens.
So maybe clicking the “update available” offering the option to install it next time you start Defold would be a good way.
