Coverage chart / Diskloom
Keep Diskloom up to date on your Mac
Diskloom is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships, and updates in one click along with everything else on this Mac.
How Diskloom gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Diskloom'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.
- The developer's own build is downloaded, with real progress.
- It is checked against a checksum where the source publishes one, otherwise against the developer signature of the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it before anything is replaced.
- Diskloom is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
Questions about Diskloom
Does Floodtide update Diskloom?
Yes. Diskloom is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads Diskloom's own release source, so it appears in your update list automatically when a newer version is published, with no configuration.
How does Floodtide install a new version of Diskloom?
It downloads the developer's own build and checks it before anything on your Mac changes: against a checksum where the source publishes one, otherwise by requiring the same developer signature as the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it. Then it quits Diskloom if it is running and puts the new version in place.
Will updating Diskloom lose my settings?
No. Floodtide replaces the application only. Preferences, licences and documents live outside it and are untouched.
