It would be very welcome to have FFmpeg's version displayed in the "File
Version" column of Windows File explorer, as that column is currently left
empty.
== Why
This change would make it much easier for users to see which version they
have installed directly in File Explorer, without having to open the
command line and run "ffmpeg -version". I'm not sure if other operating
systems have similar file version tracking in their explorers, but adding
this feature for Windows would definitely improve version tracking.
== Steps to reproduce
**1. Open Windows Explorer:**
''Press Windows + E to open a new Windows Explorer window.''
**2. Navigate to the FFmpeg Executable:**
''Go to the directory where FFmpeg is installed (e.g., C:\Program
Files\FFmpeg\bin).''
**3. Add the File Version Column:**
''a. Right-click on the column headers in the file list (where it says
"Name," "Date modified," etc.).''
''b. In the context menu, select "More..." to open the "Choose
Details" dialog.''
''c. Scroll through the list and check the box next to "File
version".''
''d. Click "OK" to apply the changes.''
**4. Check the File Version:**
''a.Locate the ffmpeg.exe file in the list.''
''b.You should see that the "File Version" column is NOT populated
with the version information for FFmpeg.''
