OM Workspace - Important

[Keith-369]

Found this and thought it may be useful -

Basically, it means that you must ensure that you are running the latest version by the end of March (Windows is 2.3, not sure what Apple version is) so that auto updates will continue. Obviously some changes being made.

I saw this too so updated anyway: in two steps as I was on vsn 2.2 so had to go to 2.2.1 before I could update to 2.3 (windows).

Further down the page the statement below the "From April 1, 2024" label, " "Firmware updates for our cameras will also be no longer available." sounds rather alarming! Any idea what that's all about?!

[Olybirder]

Unless I am reading it incorrectly, doesn't it mean that you will not be able to update your camera firmware using Workspace versions 2.2 or earlier (win) or 2.2.1 or earlier (mac).

It could be interpreted that way based on the table that follows that statement. Whatever, it could have been explained better IMHO.

[Olybirder]

I agree.

"Unless I am reading it incorrectly, doesn't it mean that you will not be able to update your camera firmware using Workspace versions 2.2 or earlier (win) or 2.2.1 or earlier (mac)."

That's exactly what it is saying.

Note also the requirements for OM Capture.

Ian, any chance you could get clarification from OM System on this? We shouldn't have to guess what the statement actually means.

[Ian]

I might be missing something here but I have downloaded and installed 2.3 without problem?

Somewhat disturbing piece of news. I find OM Workspace most useful for transferring my images to the PC. I really like the ability to have all the files from the card copied to separate sub-folders named by the date taken. I also use it for doing initial culling and FW updating. I noticed that DVRUpdater is also not going to get any newer releases, I use it for my recorder FW updates.

It would be nice to get some idea of what, if anything, is planned for the future.

I read this as OM workspace 2.3 is the most up to date version.
I've just updated to 2.2.1 but no sign of 2.3? I was out of the country at the time and cannot recall seeing anywhere notification.
OM Capture for tethered work should be 3.1
OMDVR Updater (whatever that is) should be 2.0.1
It does need clarification.

I had 2.1.1 and had to download update again after 2.2.1 to get to 2.3 on PC.

I am using 2.3.1 on my Mac. I updated to it a few days ago.

Ron

[wanderer]

I've managed to update to 2.3.

[Ian]

2.3 seems to be the latest version available for Windows.

[Bobblejack]

I seem to be on 2.2 (windows) and tried to update and it told me I am already on the latest version. curious!?

[R99C99]

As a Mac user, mine has already updated to 2.3.1

[shakyHands]

I just fired up OM Workspace on my windows machine and it offered me an upgrade to 2.3

[PeterG]

Although I don't use OM Worskpace that much I have just uploaded v2.3.1 without any difficulty (on an iMac running Sonoma 14.4.1). Have yet to check that it works!

[rustyarrow]

I did the same yesterday and it still does work but is so clunky I only use it to update hardware but in a Windows PC

[BDennis]

Thanks for the heads up.

I’m reading it as their back end servers won’t support updating the older versions after April 1st. From an IT perspective it can be a pain to support a trail of old versions of software to be honest. You can always go to the website and download the latest version and install it anyway.

I find the OM WS update a bit bizarre as first you have to update the updater program and then the updater program updates the main application. It always confuses me! With something like Affiinity Photo the main application just updates itself and reloads.

Running ver 2.3 at the mo. I looked at updates, but the programme says I am running the latest version...

[Malfis]

I use a Mac - just updated to 2.3.1 - all looks to be AOK.

[Gigirÿche]

I am also on 2.3.1

[MJ224]

Is that the Mac or Windows?
