PrusaSlicer shows version 2.2.0+

I jusst upgraded PrusaSlicer to 2.4, or at least I think I did.  I'm on a Mac so I pull the driver icon to the Applications folder and it asks me if I want to replace PrusaSlicer, I tell it to do so, yet when I open it the title bar says PrusaSlicer 2.2.0+, and I get the same thing when I click Help->About PrusaSlicer. 

I might not mind this, but I'm wondering if I actually got the new version, recently I've tried to open 3mf files created by others and I get an error, ConfigBase::set_deserialize() failed.  This makes me think I may be actually running an old version.

Cheers

RE: PrusaSlicer shows version 2.2.0+

Well, if the About box says 2.2.0, it doesn't take rocket science to conclude that you're not running 2.4 🙂

Two thoughts:

* Download the software again and make sure you download the correct version. ( https://cdn.prusa3d.com/downloads/drivers/prusa3d_mac_2_4_0.dmg)

* Make sure you quit any running instance of Prusaslicer before upgrading.

Thanks for the dig, and you're noble?

I downloaded and installed from the installer and had the same result.  My final solution was to locate every instance of PrusaSlicer in every subdirectory on my machine and delete it.  I then did a new install.  I don't know why but for some reason when I told PrusaSlicer to replace the previous version it did not, I had to hand delete it.  I can now confirm I'm running 2.4.0.

I guess I should have used two smiley faces... there was no dig intended.

Glad you got it working.

That's a Mac bug-like feature. It will find apps in any location, not just the system Applications folder. If you inadvertently install elsewhere, the "other" copy may be run, especially if you use Spotlight to launch it. Also be aware that the full Prusa installer put the app inside a folder under Applications. If you later install from a GitHub download, you need to overwrite the app in that location. I usually keep an old tested version around, so rename PrusaSlicer before installing a new version. This helps avoid confusion.

RE:

I am on a Mac, but the puzzler was I didn't do a custom install, ever.  I always told it to replace what it found.  When I was upgrading the incremental 2.2.0s it would show a build number after the 2.2.0, but when I installed 2.3.0 it didn't update the number.  I thought it was some weir revision thing they were doing, but when I couldn't open 3mf files I began to think that something else was going on.  Not sure what happened, but I hope from here on out it really does do a replace.
