Problems with MinimWatch and Updates
Hi Simon,
I am a longtime user of MinimServer and since 2.0
proud paying customer Smile

And while the product itself is getting better and better
I encounter more and more problems with MinimWatch
and the update process.

And as I am not sure whether they are independent or not
I will lay out the whole situation.

I have Minimserver installed on a virtual DEBIAN Server
and have 9 Instances running.

MinimWatch 0.83 worked flawless for me even under WIN10
but after I upgraded the whole System to 2.0
MinimWatch is not working reliably.

When I start Minimwatch Somtimes it takes minutes
until all Instances are displayed.

I guess it can't be a network issue because the Linn Kinsky Controlpoint
running on the same PC is reliably displaying all 9 Instances in a second or two. (Yes I am still using this old contol point because I am still waiting for a better one to be released on PC or anywhere)

Then, when I press the about button of an Insance sometimes all instances
vanish (and reappear after sometime). I could live with that by now because actually I don't have to use
MinimWatch too often.

But today the updateprocess (update 193) didn't start and therefore
I looked deeper into the problems.

Until now when I started MinimWatch it announced the update
with a pop up window - and I just could click through the 3 Windows for each Instance (Even that was cumbersome with 9 Instances but ok my fault to have so many)

But today - nothing - so I had to manually open the options window of each Instance and always the other Instances were vanishing and I had to wait - sometimes minutes for them to reappear.

In the meantime I forgot wich Instances were already updated.
So it took me a long time to get trough Sad

Therefore I took a look in your manual and my preferences
and saw that I have the autoupdate set to true
and that to the description the update should occur
automatically - but that actually never worked for me
I had always to click through the windows.

Maybe this is working as intended but In my opininion
the manual says otherwise.

So there are 2 Questions

1. what could be the source of my MinimWatch delay and instability
and what can I do against it ?

2. Is there a better option for the updateprocess (without having
to click more than once per Instance).

Thx in advance

PS: I just discovered the .updatereminder property
(it is set to the default: 1)
and I guess update 193 was just to new to pop up -
but that still leaves my main questions.
