Describe the solution you'd like

It will be nice if the add on store displays the minimum and last tested NVDA versions of an add-on in the description field. The only way I can check it is to go to the about add on button on a downloaded add on I have installed externally, or I downloaded an add on in Github from the add-on stores github page.

Additional context

With NVDA 2023.3, In the addon store when you focus an addon and press tab multiple times, there are two edit fields. one for the description and one for "more details". In the edit field for more details you can read the minimum and the last tested NVDA version of the currently focused addon. So it works as expected. Closing as works for me.

Doesn't show up on any of the add-ons when I hit down arrow on the more details field.

[Adriani90]

Are you looking on addons which are available? or on addons which are incompatible? This information is only available for addons with status incompatible. Fir addons with status "available", the minimum and the last tested NVDA version is the current NVDA version you are running on your system so it doesn't show up in the more details field.

[GeorgeWu3]

I'm browsing through addons that are compatible.
I wish it shows the minimum and last tested NVDA versions on add-ons that are compatible.

[Adriani90]

Could you explain more exactly the use case for what you need this? The minimum version and the last tested version are the same when the addon is compatible. And this is the NVDA version you have installed on your system if the addon is shown as compatible.

I see several reasons why the info should be shown regardless if the add-on is compatible or not:

• In the old add-ons manager it was possible to show the compatibility range from the about add-on dialog for all add-ons, so the current state can be theoretically considered a regression
• If I have a friend who is, for whatever reason, using older NVDA and I want to recommend a cool add-on I found to them, it is useful to see what is the minimum NVDA version required by the add-on
• When I'm on NVDA 2023.3 and considering upgrade to 2024.1, it is also useful to look at the last tested for my most important add-ons, to asses if I can safely upgrade, or if it is still too early, as my add-ons are not compatible yet

[GeorgeWu3]

Some people, like me, arcurious to know what is the minimum NVDA version of a particular add on is. That's why.

Hello,
I agree with @lukaszgo1, the ability to display both the minimum version and the last tested version for an available extension has several advantages.
It would be very interesting to have it shown in the more details field.
