ilan Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 2, 2022 #1 hi i made an App for Windows using B4j and i use the Standalone Package feature. Everything works fine. Now i would like to implement an AUTO-UPDATE feature in my app. My question is this when i create a new Standalone Package from b4j IDE what files are relevant for me? i mean if i make some changes i would like to only update the relevant files instead of all other files that are needed to run the App. Is it possible to update only a few files that have been changed and not the whole build folder? and if yes where are they stored? updating all files means downloading every update about 120mb but the app itself if it is compiled to JAR is about 18mb. thanks, ilan
