We’re introducing the biggest update to the Toolbox App yet. We’ve listened to our users’ feedback, analyzed the most voted bug reports in our tracker, and refactored the installation layout to address most of the pain points. Thanks to the improved integration with the operating system and third-party applications, the Toolbox App is now even better at helping you manage all of your JetBrains tools. The Toolbox App previously installed tools in a custom directory with an ever-changing path. This is now a thing of the past. The default installation directory now conforms to your operating system’s guidelines and never changes. This improves integration with the OS and third-party applications and eliminates workarounds both in the Toolbox App and elsewhere. Toolbox App 2.0 uses default directories to install tools. In previous versions, the Toolbox App installed updates in the directory with a version number as its name, so each new version had a new path on the filesystem. It now puts the new version into exactly the same directory, ensuring a permanent path for each tool. The process of updating your tools is just as easy as before. Just click the update button, or turn on automatic updates. The Toolbox App will do the rest. The Toolbox App now also provides an informative and detailed interface during updates.
