How to update Chanalyzer Lite on your Mac

Chanalyzer Lite's developer publishes each version on their own page at oscium.com. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.

Update Chanalyzer Lite by hand

  1. Download the current build from oscium.com. Chanalyzer Lite's developer publishes each release at oscium.com. Get the Mac build from there.
  2. Replace the old copy. Quit Chanalyzer Lite, open the download and put the new Chanalyzer Lite in Applications in place of the old one: a disk image is dragged across, an installer package runs its own steps. Your settings and documents live outside the app and are kept.

That is one app. The same walk, through a different menu or page each time, is what every other app on the Mac asks of you, which is where Floodtide comes in.

What Floodtide does about Chanalyzer Lite

Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Chanalyzer Lite's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out, next to every other app on the Mac that is behind.

The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from Chanalyzer Lite's own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.

Questions about Chanalyzer Lite

Does Floodtide update Chanalyzer Lite?

Floodtide tells you when Chanalyzer Lite has an update. Chanalyzer Lite is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads the version its developer publishes, so a new release appears in your update list with no configuration. The developer publishes no download Floodtide can check, so the update itself comes from Chanalyzer Lite's own updater or the developer's site.

How does Floodtide install a new version of Chanalyzer Lite?

It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as Chanalyzer Lite's developer publishes it, and you update from Chanalyzer Lite's own updater or the developer's site.
