Is it possible to update the previous version of stellarium or do you have to re-download it completely?

[damnut]

Hi Ant,

There is no update package available, however once downloaded if you run the new installer you can choose a different directory so that you can run both versions if needed.

You can transfer your original stellarium ssystem.ini (spelt correctly) if you have edited it, to your new version, but be aware that there my be three copies generated and you will need to search & find to update.

If you have any issues just drop me a pm.

Hwyl!

Hi,thanks for the link I downloaded it but found that when I searched for some targets (M13 was one such target) the info for some targets wasn't displaying in the top left and it wouldn't slew the scope to those particular targets.I updated the Json files but that didn't cure it, I eventualy just did a restore on the computer back to version 0.12.1 and all was well again.
