Make Version and Meta data selectable...

[GUIguy]

Sometimes it's necessary to copy, for example, a file's version number.

If you made that text selectable, not necessarily editable, that would make it more convenient and error-free than retyping the numbers.

Thanks!

Right-click the Meta tab, select "Show in Popup".

Right-click the Meta tab, select "Show in Popup".

That's a helpful tip, but when I right-click the Meta tab in the Info Panel nothing happens. There's no "Show in Popup." There's nothing.

Not the header, the body.

Not the header, the body.

Ahhh ... thank you. But you -did- say "Right-click the Meta tab"

[admin]

I thought the whole thing is the tab, and what you call tab I call tab header

Given that your English is better than that spoken by most of the people here in the US, it comes down to semantics. Which is fine now that I know how you're using the term. :-)

Thanks, but recently my English is often AI-enhanced.

My sense is that your English was pretty damn good before AI became a thing.

Hi GUIguy,

a)

maybe try in the address bar:

::text property("Name") . "<br>" . property("FileVersion") . "<br>" . property("ProductVersion")

==> a dialog is displayed. For xyplorer.exe for example:

Code: Select all

XYplorer.exe
25.80.0.7
25.80.0007

b)

Or try

::copytext property("Name") . "<br>" . property("FileVersion") . "<br>" . property("ProductVersion")

==> same info is copied to the clipboard. Check it with

::#216

c)

Context menu > To Clipboard > Compact File Info

==> XYplorer.exe, 11.718.656 bytes, 01.04.2024 18:14:20, ver 25.80.0007


Context menu > To Clipboard > Compact File Info

==>

Code: Select all

Name: XYplorer.exe
DOS name: XYPLORER.EXE
File version: 25.80.0.7
...
Product Version: 25.80.0007
...
File version: 25.80.0.7
Prod. version: 25.80.0.7
...

Best regards, Markus
