Update masks

Hello everyone,

I'm really curious about the decisions behind the app updates and their differences, whether they are intentional or not.

Why when I'm using masks on ACR or Lr and they need to be updated I get a pop up as a notification with a button to update the masks and instead on LrC I've just to care about a little red dot near the mask icon, I've to enter in the masks module, I've to select a mask and then I can choose to update them?!?
I really don't understand these differences, expecially in an app like LrC which seems to be declared the most complete.

You don't have to do all of that. Just choose 'Photo - Update AI Settings'. In Library view, you can even do this in batch on a bunch of selected photos with 'Photo - Develop Settings - Update AI Settings'.

I thought that what I wrote was clear but maybe isn't, I'm sure because of my english. I think that the pop up as a notification with a button to update appearing immediately when needed is more secure to not forget to update the masks and a more easy/fast way to do it. I know that I can do what you suggested but you've to remember to do it, more times during the work or for sure at the end of the editing session.

Anyway, why that option is on ACR, Lr and not in LrC? For me there's no sense.

I didn't design these apps, so I can comment on that, but what you said was: "I've to enter in the masks module, I've to select a mask and then I can choose to update them?!?". And so I explained that you do not have to do all of that. Just select that menu and you're done. And to be honest: I'm happy that Lightroom does not show a dialog. I hate clicking warning dialogs all the time. But that is a personal preference.
