Software Update
If you purchased iStopMotion on the Mac App Store, these preferences are not available. Software Updates are done via the App Store app.
To ensure that you always have the latest version installed, you can set the interval at which iStopMotion should check for product updates on the internet. You need an internet connection for this functionality.
Independently of the chosen interval you can immediately check for an updated version by clicking .
If you also want to be notified about beta versions that Boinx may make available from time to time, make sure the corresponding option is checked. Beta versions are experimental, unfinished and may not be well tested. They may contain bugs resulting in crashes or loss of data! You should not consider beta versions for production usage.
