    102* is not beta. It's the next group jump from 91*. Since 91.11 is the last update for that group, it should probably not be reported as having an update. Group jumps (ie. 91 to 102) usually result in customization/extension breakage when updating from one group to the other. The 102* update notices should now only apply if a 102* app is present on the system.

    It's not beta and it's the one basically served by Thunderbird server. Therefore, we consider it's the "latest stable" and indicated by SUMo as latest update. Right click > Skip > 1 week (or month) if needed

    I've added 2 folders to check for MicrosoftEdge updates:
    Code:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application
    
    The problem is that the app keeps disappearing from the SUMo list after Edge has been updated. SUMo removes it because it can't find the app, but it is checking for a previous version instead of the updated version when it does this. I.e.
    Code:
    Verbose   [22-07-15 12:42:49]   Removing C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\103.0.1264.49\msedge.exe (Cause : File not found (msedge /  /  ))
    
    After updating edge to 103.0.1264.62. I don't understand why SUMo is not checking for C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe or C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe for 32-bit

    On my system "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" is automatically detected on each new scan.
    Isn't it the case on your system ?

    Have you checked that it is NOT in your "Ignore List" (CTRL+I) ?

    It is removed from the list after Edge is updated and after running a new check on it . It only appears again if I rescan . it is not removed if there is no update for it.
    It definitely is not in the the ignore or skip list.

    After a scan, which one is detected :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\<VERSION>\msedge.exe
    or
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe

    It depends if I'm running 32-bit or 64-bit. I only have one instance of SUMo (portable) for all of my multi-boot systems. The problem seems to be the removal of items when they are not found on one system but exist on another. I don't have EDGE installed on all systems. Why is it necessary to remove items?

    Maybe flagging a file not found in the list would provide a bit more info and would make more sense than removing and not listing it at all - leaving the user unaware that it will no longer be detected elsewhere.

    Or maybe should I make the databank "system-dependant" ? (eg : one list / file per computer, when using portable mode)

    It's probably not that common that users have multi-boot systems with one instance of SUMo, so I'm not sure what would be the least effort to accommodate such cases. What bothers me in general, is when things get undone without the user being aware of it.

    Why does SUMo, even check and update the DB for files not found on startup? Flagging or greying out the file in the list would at least give the user a heads up notice about it. Doing a new scan would then create a new DB and reflect the actual state of the apps found.

    Did you test by enabling "Scan at startup" option ? This should be OK for your use case

    No, I don't use that because it crashes randomly here and there during scans. I only scan on demand when needed and not every time SUMo is launched which would cause more processing than needed. In my case Startup already takes long enough (862 products loaded). Why is SUMo even checking for file not found on startup? Shouldn't that be left to the scan option when it rebuilds the DB?

    What would speak against not checking for file not found on startup?

    Crashes randomly ? Worth being reported if it is still the case :)

    "File not found" automatically removed as it obvisouly prevents reading Product Name / Company Name and Version infos.

    I've already reported crashes, but there was never a request for dumps - only logs which were of no help in solving them.

    True, but. can't that just be ignored when a read fails?

    I'll think about it.
    Should new crash happen, please let me know (DM)

    Hi Kyle,

    SUMo won't add InPaint (automatically or manually) to the list of scanned programs.

    Can you check and fix that?

    Thanks!

    Empty Exe, all basic info are missing : Product Name, Company Name, Version. To be reported to its developper, trivial fix.

    Thanks for the reply. Didn't check the EXE properties, btw.
