Thank you for your comments.
The model that we've taken with the tools since Mac OS X shipped has
been that partial installs, updating just specific components, have
always said "Update" in the title where full releases which included
updated components always carried the term "Tools" in the title.
Perhaps this was too subtle, but it has not been misunderstood before.
Question: There were two new downloads with similar names right next
to each other on the ADC website, do you consider it unreasonable that
a developer would download and read the Read Me files, about 10-20K
apiece, for both of them? My own predilection would be to read *all*
the read me files when I see several downloads and then choose which
ones I wanted to obtain. Other people behave differently, I see, so I
am trying to gauge in what ways to change the way I organize the
naming and read me information.
I was confused, too, and until I read this thread, I thought I have the
complete version of developer tools (I have updated via Software
Update).
The problem is in the naming - Xcode versus Xcode Tools.
This is very hard to distinguish. Why don't you name the tools package
simply Apple Developer Tools or something like that, and then Xcode
very cleary represents the application, as Interface Builder does. And
then the Xcode Update is clearly the update of the application, and
Interface Builder update is update of application, and Apple Developer
Tools v1.1 is clearly the whole package with documentation and
everything....
BTW, I really like the Software Update as release channel. It checks
for new stuff automatically, and downloads and installs it for me. No
need for me to think about it and look for updates on the web. If you
would also put the complete package there, I would have no problems.
Very convenient, as mac experience should be :-)
