Download of full versions with package version in name

Post by RalphM »

For a while now the beta versions download with their version number in the name but the full versions still don't - any reason for this?

I tried to find the original topic but the search term "+download +package +version" ignores "version" and then comes up with too many posts in the Beta section of the forum - simply couldn't find the right one.

The full version installer is always directly downloadable under a versioned name, e.g. the last one:
XYplorer_22.10.0200_Install.exe

PS: But you are right. From the next release onwards their will be links to full versions with package version in name.

But if I follow the link in the Beta version history to go to the XY Download page and then click on Download Now for the Installer package the filename suggested is just "xyplorer_full.zip", see below:

The normal download links on the website will always have the canonic name for the latest official release. That's common practice and it makes sense.

But I will provide versioned package links here in the forum.
