Add Version Number

[big610]

Add the ability to see the version number: In the app, Hovering the mouse over the file adding File version:, and when you compress zip your file - when uploading that preserves your original date & time as another way to identify versions matching that to your Releases. Thnx.

Hi, I've just commited 70f1664 and released v1.3.5 which now auto-updates to newest version, and shows the version number on the system tray tooltip message. Please tell me if that's what you meant. I will close this for now.

I don't quite understand what you mean by the zip compressing?

[big610]

Zip compressing a file preserves the original Date & Time.
When you download a file or .exe, the new Date & Time becomes the Date & Time the download finishes.
When you zip compress the file, that preserves the original Date & Time, which then matches the Github releases details & a way to match the file version. When the download finishes, what ever time you unzip the Compressed Zip file, inside the Compressed Folder, inside you have the original Date & Time preserved.

You still need to add the File Version Details, & a place to open to see it. Help/About can show the version or a Right Click/About can show the version and your Preferences/Details need to be filed out.

Got it 👍
I won't modify it right now since it's not a really big issue, but I will make sure to include it in the next updates (if there WILL be any :P)

Also, I don't think I will compress the app, unless I find a good way to decompress it for the new auto-update feature (I didn't look into it yet, so it might be a possible)

Nevermind, I'm gonna make a quick patch for this, and maybe also add something else.

There is no native Win32 API for working with .zip files (or any other archive type).

:(

Right Click your app, Send to > Compressed (zipped) Folder, then upload the zipped file to Github.

Nonono, you didn't understand my issue. If you didn't know, I added the feature of auto updating the app. Problem: there is no Win32 API to uncompress a file, so that is not feasible.

Anyways, I have added the file version number in the v1.3.6 release (4104931), along with other new features. I hope that is good.
