The App Store looks to me like a handy tool for applications which are available on the App Store (Transmit, BBEdit, etc.). For applications which I owned before the App Store was ever created, what is the proper way to move from upgrading independently from the App's website to automatic upgrades and save from the App Store?
Namely, I did two experiments:
1 - I used an old version (6.5 of BBEdit), had upgraded manually to something like 8.5. After stating "Download" from the App Store and replied "OK" to the App Store's suggestion that this would override my existing 8.5 version, the new install went smoothly and I found myself with the most recent 10.xx issue of BBEdit, apparently without paying anything, while I believe I should have paid at least an upgrade (which I would gladly do).
2 - Did the same fror Transmit, except that Transmit was [quite] up to date and the missing update was, for sure, free. Similarly, I opted "Download", did not receive the same question, the App Store did its App Store stuff and now believes Transmit is installed. It is not. I still have my immediately-before-last version of Transmit and cannot re-download the last install from the App Store. How come? Weird.
Any hint ? Suggestion?
