Very simple one! Vers date/time in "About"..

Post by j_c_hallgren »

Here's a quickie wish: In the "About", add the Date and time after the vers info...in case one gets behind on vers, it makes it a bit easier to notice that when one has timestamp to compare...format of date might be best for all to read using "Jan"-"Dec" as month.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Only: I do not store that date in the file, so I could only read it from the last modified date. Not totally reliable.

So another 17 or so bytes (dd mmm yyyy hh:mm) stored as a literal/constant in .EXE would be too much to add? :roll: I think that's enough, right? And a few bytes for code to display it...

Checking the modified date of the EXE yourself is too much to ask? :wink:
