hi,
i'd like to add version and other information to the compiled exe, such as
name-
description-
company name-
version-
copyright-
license-
etc....
doing this in upp is a pain.
most ide's have an inbuild versioning system, which makes it easier to add and manage version and other related information.
why does'nt upp have it?
i think it is a must.
is there a better way of adding version and other related info than adding it through .rc file, which quite often is error prone?
regards
dave

Hi dave,
First of all, I must say that I don't know the real reasons why versioning is not integrated into theide and the following are just my guesses. Someone more competent might add precise explanation later.
So first reason: By the way you describe it, I believe you are talking about the info that shows e.g. in the "Properties..." dialogue in windows explorer. So here comes a first problem, U++ is a multiplatform tool and this is very platform specific.
Second reason that comes to my mind: Inbuild versioning system is probably not a must as you say. Because if it was, someone would already implemented it 
Third and last reason I can think of now: There are probably at least two possible ways how to do this in theide. The rc file could be generated using either Macros or Custom build steps, using a simple script that would handle the versioning externally (which is more clever anyway, because it allows way more freedom to you).
Does that answer your questions?
Best regards,
Honza
