Hello everyone,

I looked at Wiki "Manual Installations" but it's blank. :(

Question is about updating existing apps or just create a new virtual drive.  Then delete / uninstall the old one if everything works.

I had PicPick 4.2.6 installed in Mint 18.1 / PoL 4.2.10.  (It works, BTW)

PicPick 4.2.8 had bug fixes - I decided to "update" the existing version.  For PoL, I'm not sure updating existing apps is the easiest way - part of my question.

If I update the app, PoL still leaves the old app name & version / icon in its main UI.

But it appears the older app name (PicPick 4.2.6) is just that - a name only.  When I select the old or new app version in PoL's UI > Open the Directory, they're the same path (makes sense).  In this case, is  R-clicking the old app name in PoL's UI > "Remove" the best way, vs. uninstall it?

I'm fairly sure  uninstalling v4.2.6 would actually uninstall v4.2.8.

Some apps do poorly installing an update to the same path.  Others do fine.

I'm not sure if the PoL question's been raised, but if an update successfully installs to the SAME path, should the older version name be removed from PoL's main UI?  That's generally how Windows would do it.

Thanks.

You can use à updater like you did. POL shotcuare different file with a specific name and icon. You can rename it or remove it with configuration panel (avoid uninstall). If you wish you can create a new shortcut. The new one may use the correct icon.
