Auto Update crash

[BoltBait]

OK, so I just now ran Paint.net and as soon as it was open, I ran codelab.

While codelab was open, PdN prompted me to upgrade (as you just posted the new build).

I thought, "this will be interesting..." so I said, "Sure!"

Well, it couldn't close PdN as code lab was still open. So, during the install process, it told me to go close PdN. "Cool," I thought, "it just might work..." until I pressed the Cancel button on Codelab.

Crash.

This may happen with other effects too. But, I can't exactly test it...

Woops, that sucks. I've filed the bug Thanks

Allright, here's the plan. If you have something like CodeLab, or any other modal window for that matter, the updater will know that and will not display the dialog. However, every 3 seconds it will check again and if there's no more modal window it will then show the update dialog.

Sounds like a good plan.
