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 Wink

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
