Dorico, Steinberg Download Assistant: what’s required to be downloaded?

@Daniel at Steinberg

You don’t need to download it again: it is unchanged from Dorico 1, and provided you haven’t gone rooting around trying to remove it since you installed Dorico 1, it will still be installed.

Thanks. I find, this (the whole “what’s necessary and what’s optional” thing) could be communicated a little better.

FWIW, programs that claim to “clean” or otherwise maintain your Mac: at best, they are unnecessary and at worst they can cause more problems than they claim to fix.
Most apps that need an uninstaller come with one (or have instructions on their support pages. Otherwise, just delete the app.

These programs usually show you which files are going to be deleted, so you have full control over it. And by just deleting the application it leaves all the redundant files in system directories which I can’t stand. Mac programs used to be self-contained so that didn’t use to be a problem but modern applications do add a lot of stuff elswhere on your system, and that they don’t come with an uninstaller is more a laziness out of tradition than anything else.
