Same here. Under Linux, that is all you can do (as far as I know). No
desktop environment (like KDE, Gnome, XFCE etc) has a "Version
Information" tab in the file properties.
As for libraries, Linux (and most *nix systems) have a well established
naming convention where the version number is part of the filename. I
find this actually better than Windows - thus you can have multiple
versions installed at the same time.
eg:
libfbclient-2.0.so
libfbclient-2.5.2.so
I sympathise with the OP though: the Lazarus IDE has facilities to
insert version information, so how can you get at that even if it means
running the program (without necessarily displaying a form etc.) to
extract it?
And for that matter, how can one merge svn information into it? :-)
