MadExcept - Versionized DPK / BPL files?

Post by cpstevenc »

It would be nice if MadExcept versionized their DPK/BPL files.

None of them appear to have version ability enabled. So there is no version number at all.

I have an IDE plugin that gives a list of all installed BPL files and versions.

This helps me a little bit on knowing what version I am on vs my coworkers are on vs what our builder machines are on.

This works for some things but not all.. MadExcept being one of the 3rd party companies that doesn't work with well since no version # info.

Sorry for the late reply.

You can get the version number from the BPL resource "RCData\Description". I understand it would be nicer to also have it in official version resource, but my build tools don't support doing that automatically, so I'd have to constantly update the version numbers manually, which would be quite annoying, and I'd probably forget updating those all the time.
