Updates and launch at login
Gelim downloads new versions in the background and installs them in one click, never in the middle of a recording.
1. Notice the update icon
Gelim looks for a new version every hour, and when you come back to it after an hour or more. When one has downloaded, an update icon appears at the end of the Discover row in the sidebar. Hover it to see the version.
2. Click it
Gelim installs the update and restarts. If you'd rather not now, just quit Gelim later: the update installs on the way out.
Check for updates yourself
Choose Check for Updates… in the Gelim menu, in the menu bar mark's menu, or in Settings → General → Updates.
Options
In Settings → General:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Check for updates automatically | Looks for new versions and downloads them in the background. On by default |
| Install after the recording | Shows when an update is waiting for a recording to finish, with Install now |
| Launch at login | Opens Gelim when you log in; the window stays hidden until you open it. On by default. If you remove Gelim from System Settings → General → Login Items, the switch turns off too |
| Show the mark in the menu bar | The Gelim mark with Record, Activity and the launcher |
