I have an app that started life in LC 5. I've just updated it in LC
6.6.5, the main reason being for better Retina support. When I build a
new app, it looks great on a Retina display, but older apps that are
updated still look really bad. The text looks terrrible, even the text
in window title bars and system dialogs is pixelated. I've also noticed
that there is a size difference between a new app (in this case 22mb)
and the updated older app (smaller at 16mb).
What's happening and what can I do about it?

Marty,
Have you checked to see that the plist is being updated properly after the auto update? Does it have the retina flag in it?
If so, does the app look correct if you restart the computer?

Hey Trevor,
The plist is updating and I tried several restarts - no improvement. I just tried zipping the app and then unzipping and then it seems to be fine. Or if I copy it to a thumb drive and then back again it also works. The app seems to function fine, though I am baffled by the size difference between a new app and an updated app (22mb vs 16mb).
This is an app that I've had out for a few years so I can't play too much with update experiments for fear of messing someone's app out there, should they try to update.
So this seems to be a matter of the OS not recognizing the app correctly. Any suggestions on how to get the OS to recognize this?
Marty
P.S. Any update on the new Sparkle update mechanism?

I don't know of a way to address this.

I haven't had a chance to compile all of the changes and see what needs to happen to make this public. Even when I do, be aware that it won't help you for your first update as the version installed on client computers won't have the necessary external installed to handle the update.
