Version Information Editor Description
Version Information Editor is an advanced tool for experienced users, such as programmers. It gives them the possibility to analyze, edit and export version information associated with applications, by putting at their disposal a bunch of practical options and configuration settings.
Hassle-free installer and simple GUI
After a speedy setup operation that shouldn’t impose any difficulties, you’re greeted by a user-friendly interface made from a normal window with a simple design and neatly organized layout, where you can get started by specifying the resource compiler and command lines for compiling source files (with SRC or BIN placeholders).
View, edit and save file version info
It’s possible to examine fixed file information (e.g. OS, type, subtype, flags, flag masks), translation details (language, character set) and string data, such as comments, company name, file description and version, internal name, legal copyright and trademark, original file name, along with private and special build.
This information can be edited and saved to version info files (.vi format) or exported to resource source files (.rc format). Moreover, you can view RC statements, remove any field from the info list, view analysis errors (if any), edit RC identified and comments or VI comments, or copy data to the Clipboard. Meanwhile, Version Information Editor can be asked to automatically validate info and to describe file flags.
Evaluation and conclusion
It worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. We haven’t encountered any unpleasant surprises in our tests as far as compatibility goes. Furthermore, CPU and RAM consumption was minimal, so it didn’t affect PC performance.
All in all, Version Information Editor comes packed with handy options to help you view, edit and save file version details associated with programs. It’s free for non-commercial use.
