New Member hansen_m Posted February 12, 2016 New Member Share Posted February 12, 2016 We would like to deploy 3D-Coat to our visual arts student computer labs. The software deployment and management tool that we use is fairly flexible but in order to report on what version is installed on the lab systems and determine if the software should be deployed or updated we need to have a way of determining the accurately version of 3D-Coat.app from files on disk. Typically, and the standard method, would be to use the application CFBundleVersion or CFBundleShortVersionString. Unfortunately this is set to 1.0 for 3D-Coat.app. Could this please be updated to accurately display the correct version with each new release? This seems trivial but is a major roadblock for us to be able to mass-deploy and properly manage software. Apple has a lot of documentation on it if required but simply updating the two keys within the 3D-Coat.app/Contents/Info.plist file is all that we would need. Thanks!

New Member hansen_m Posted February 24, 2016 Author New Member Share Posted February 24, 2016 Are there any other flat files that could be used to identify which version of 3D-Coat was installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERGYI Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 ...updating the two keys within the 3D-Coat.app/Contents/Info.plist file is all that we would need. We'll consider this in future builds of 3D-Coat for OS X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERGYI Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 ... the standard method, would be to use the application CFBundleVersion or CFBundleShortVersionString Starting from 3D-Coat 4.5.28 for OS X the key "CFBundleShortVersionString" inside "3D-Coat.app/Contents/Info.plist" is set to correct version.
