I have some new info regarding how to download the Online Profile List (hereafter referred to as the OPL). But just to make sure that we're all on the same page, I'd like to offer a short tutorial. Please bear with me if this is old news to you.

The OPL is a list of all profiles that are available in Invelos' online database. It contains some info on each profile. When you do an add by title, all the info that you see on that list comes from your local OPL (unless you click the Preview button - that data will be downloaded).

One piece of information in the OPL is the last change timestamp. When you select Refresh Updated Profiles, the online timestamps are compared to the local timestamps in your profiles, and if the online timestamp is newer, then that profile will show up as an available update.

The trouble that we are seeing is that when you select a function in Profiler than uses the OPL, Profiler tries to download an incremental update of the OPL. That means that it only downloads what's changed. Thus it's a much smaller download than a download of the full OPL. However, at the present, this incremental download does not seem to work. So, unless you do a full download, you'll still be working with the old OPL and will therefore not see any recent updates.

In earlier posts I have told you about two ways to get the full OPL; delete your local files or download it the way specified in the Knowledge Base. HOWEVER, it has just been pointed out to me that there is a third way: Click "Online/Refresh Online Profile List" while holding down the Ctrl key. I don't think this is documented anywhere.

Obviously having to download some 50+ MB of data every time you want to check for updates is annoying. Especially if you're paying for download traffic. So hopefully this problem will be rectified soon.
