update for WinFX not showing

is it confusing 5.1 with 5.10?

from Stardock Forums

I opened WindowFX 5 and saw there was an update.  I was running version 5.1.  I do have Stardock Central running though and was curious why that didn't notify me.  I checked and saw there was no update there for FX. 

Why is this?  Did it somehow confuse 5.1 with 5.10?  I notice that the exec file I downloaded's name is 5.1 even though the version is 5.10.

That's all.  Just curious.

P.S.  It would be useful to be able to tell stardock central to ignore products selectively so we don't see them again under new software.  We should be able to clear this choice easily though.  It would also be useful to have an option not to show products we can't use, probably by comparing out OS to what is required for the software to run.  (Yes, this should likely go into another post.)  I'm thinking of Decor8 and Start8 showing up in Stardock Central when I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

I presume in this case v5.1 is the same as v5.10 but the zero has been omitted from the filename since it is considered superfluous. You're assuming v5.1 is actually v5.01 in which case v5.10 would indeed be a newer version. That is my understanding of the version numbers anyway.
