Version on the filename

Post by VuDu »

I suggested that some time ago, but with this recent rush of releases recalled me of it's importance.

In my opinion there's no Cons on having each release with it's version on the filename.

something like xnview-version-format.exe: xnview-v1.8.2-complete.exe or whatever...

what do you think?

I disagree, because many download portals don't want that...

hi!

well, the great majority of the programs use that method. software portals should be used to it...

3DMark06_v102_installer.zip
winamp52_0427_beta_full.exe
DCPlusPlus-0.6811.exe
AdbeRdr707_en_US.exe
