Notes

  • File version infoproperties are based on version resource information built into the file. Version resources are often built into binary files such as .exe or .dll files, but text files do not have version resource information.

  • Version information is cached as an optimization from v4.2, but the cache is not retained when the 1E Client shuts down. A cache entry is updated if the modified time of the file has changed.
