Version 2.1.3 Confusion

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: pendragon Thursday, April 03 2008 @ 05:38 AM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: YES

I installed v2.1.3 successfully, or so I was advised, but when doing a “Get Info” on the Front Row app (in the Applications Folder), it still indicates it is v1.0.

Software Update no longer indicates I need v2.1.3, apparently because there is (also) a copy of Front Row 2.1.3 in Computer/System/Library/CoreServices.

When I access FR via the remote, the “settings” show v2.1.3 (233) is being used.

What is going on and need I do anything?

Version 2.1.3 Confusion - singularity

The "Front Row.app" application found in /Applications is just a program that does exactly one thing: Launch the actual Front Row application found in Core Services.

So these are not the same applications. One is Front Row, and the other just launches Front Row.

The Front Row.app found in /Applications has not been updated yet, nor is it likely to need it since it does its one job well.

Well, except for when it crashes randomly all of the time.
