can someone explain the inspector type “file version block” to me.
For example why can I write
language of version block of file “C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe” as string
but not
ProductName of version block of file “C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe” as string
instead of
value “ProductName” of version block of file “C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe” as string
is their any way to extract all values from a file like "values of version block 1 of file “C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe” as string?
to be more specific I’m looking to extract the “description” of a file, but can’t find that in the inspector search
You can’t iterate through all the file block values with inspectors, but if you right-click on a file and go to properties, you can see information about the values in a file block… (It seems that sometimes if there is a space in the value in the file properties dialog, you need to remove it)… For instance:
q: value “FileDescription” of version block of file “C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe” as string
A: Windows Wordpad Application
It is possible for files to have multiple version blocks. In my experience, this is rare and thus both “version block” and “version block 1” are the same (note you can also say "version block
