Can I tell which version is installed?

[soenkehahn]

I installed xdg-desktop-portal-wlr from source some time ago. I'm trying to figure out which version I installed, but don't know how to do that. I was hoping /usr/local/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr --version would work, but that flag doesn't seem to exist. The man page also doesn't seem to have a version number. Is there a way to tell which version I have installed?

If not, should a flag like --version be implemented?

Afaik there is currently no way to get the installed version from the binary itself.

If not, should a flag like --version be implemented?

Sry for the long delay. I would be interested in this flag.

Thanks for the reply! Personally I'm not super invested in this feature anymore, because the version that ships with my distro by now works for me, so I don't need to install xdg-desktop-portal-wlr manually anymore. So from where I'm standing this issue can be closed. Feel free to re-use it for implementing that flag though. :)
