How to update Thesys on your Mac

Thesys' developer publishes each version on their own page at sugar-bytes.de. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.

Update Thesys by hand

  1. Download the current build from sugar-bytes.de. Thesys' developer publishes each release at sugar-bytes.de. Get the Mac build from there.
  2. Replace the old copy. Quit Thesys, open the download and put the new Thesys 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 Thesys

Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Thesys' 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 Thesys' own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.

Questions about Thesys

Does Floodtide update Thesys?

Floodtide tells you when Thesys has an update. Thesys 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 Thesys' own updater or the developer's site.

How does Floodtide install a new version of Thesys?

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