YAM updates the list as it goes, so should Microdot, IMO. Of course I have never had 1.4.15 crash on me during a download, so it has so far, not been a problem. I always close the program after download, an old habit from earlier versions that did not update anything until the program was closed. That is just habit, and not necessary anymore.
