I am not sure I understand. What's the difference, really, as long as the list is accurate?<br>
<br>
My concern is there is always a bunch of problems that crop up with
each of these security releases, and I am still on 4.7.0. So, the
provided patches don't work. I don't know how to use the patch
tools, I am sure I could, but my program list takes up my whole
screen... and it's extra wide. It is recommended with each
of these security updates to upgrade to the version before it...
that would mean 3 mini upgrades for me. To skip all that, I only
have two options, overwrite everything with the new install, or see
which files have been changed, and upload only those. <br>
<br>
It may not be sensible, from the programmer's standpoint, but I don't
feel very secure in simply overwriting everything. I don't have
any control over it?, is close. Plus, I can't find any
disadvantages in just uploading select files.<br>
