It's a paid upgrade -- you'll learn after you install and try to use it

[John Askins]

So I have used and liked FoxTrot Pro for some time, but I'm a little annoyed by this 6.0 upgrade, first because I didn't see any notice that it would require a fresh payment until after I upgraded, and second because it doesn't seem to index Scrivener files any longer. An upgrade is supposed to improve things, right? I'd like to go back to 5.7 but not sure how.

In fairness, don’t all “point upgrades” generally involvement payment?

In any event, for me this was a major upgrade that solved a number issues I was having.

This is the first item in the release notes (in bold and red) which are displayed in the new version notification window. If you enabled "automatically download and install updates" in the preferences, paid upgrades should not NOT be installed automatically.

Nothing should have changed in this regard.
You can check that the Scrivener metadata importer is found by pressing the command and option keys while launching FoxTrot, then tick "Manage third-party metadata importers".

It seems that our archive for earlier versions is currently offline on our website, but we will fix this ASAP:
