Latest should not show Obsidian as update as most recent version is already installed

Ps it just came to my mind that it would be cool to have the functionality to skip an update, kind like the ignore functionality but temporary

For Obsidian, since it's an Electron app, it uses .asar patch files to do incremental updates. Would be difficult (impossible?) for Latest to read these.

If an update is indicated, it typically indicates a new "installer" version available which also updates the bundled Chrome engine etc. So it's always good to download the updated .dmg anyway even if you "already" have the latest version installed.

This was the fix, thanks! I just downloaded the latest dmg
