0.10.0 offers update to beta, which tries 1.2.0 alpha, which fails

[dlparker]

When choosing "Update OpenPlotter Beta" from updates menu, the process encounters errors not being able to access files. For example:

chmod: cannot access 'openplotter_tmp/openplotter': No such file or directory

I believe that the problem is that the update script in 0.10.0 calls the updated_settings script in the new code (after git clone and backup):

cd ~/.config
source openplotter_tmp/update/update_settings.sh

But this script expects to be run from the update_Openplotter.sh script and to have the variable op_folder set, so when it does a cd to that variable it goes to the wrong place (home directory?).

I know that getting a new image is preferable, but I want to try this using a new install of 010.0 so that I could test the update path for an image I have that has been in use for a while and has extra stuff I installed.

Will try updating to stable, then to beta to see if that works and update comments here.

Looks like a similar problem updating to 0.17.0

CREATING OPENPLOTTER CODE BACKUP...

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/pi/.openplotter/openplotter.conf'

APPLYING SETTINGS...

Parameter not found: op_folder

REMOVING UNUSED PACKAGES...

So, basically, I think my 0.10.0 image is orphaned. Don't know if anyone else cares, so if you decide to close this as won't fix, then I won't complain.

Though I do think it is possible that a supplemental script posted on this ticket might be able to provide at least an upgrade 0.17.0.

" So, basically, I think my 0.10.0 image is orphaned"
correct. major updates require new img burn due to kernel updates and such.
no upgrades from 0.17.0 need's new img.

v2.0.0 is in the works so if version schema is the same a new img will be released
